United States Beer Market to Grow with a CAGR of 2.53% through 2030

The United States beer market is driven by craft breweries, innovative flavors, and premiumization. Increasing demand for low-alcohol, gluten-free, and sustainable options highlights shifting consumer preferences and health-conscious trends  

According to TechSci Research report, “United States Beer Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the United States Beer market stood at USD 106.84 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 123.68 billion by 2030 with a CAGR 2.53% during forecast period. The United States beer market is one of the largest and most competitive in the world, driven by diverse consumer preferences, demographic shifts, and a robust supply chain. It is a market characterized by both well-established global brands and a rapidly growing craft beer industry. Major players, such as Anheuser-Busch InBev, Molson Coors Beverage Company, and Constellation Brands, dominate the mass beer category. These companies leverage economies of scale, extensive distribution networks, and established brand loyalty to maintain significant market share.

In recent years, however, craft beer has emerged as a major disruptor in the U.S. beer market. The craft beer sector, which includes small, independent breweries, has experienced tremendous growth, driven by increasing consumer demand for variety, quality, and innovation. Consumers are now seeking unique flavors, styles, and local products, contributing to the flourishing of microbreweries and craft beer bars. This trend has led to an explosion of new beer styles, such as IPAs, stouts, and sour beers, which have gained strong popularity, particularly among younger demographics who view beer as an experience rather than just a drink.

The shift toward premium and specialty beers has resulted in an increasing number of consumers willing to pay higher prices for high-quality products. As part of this, many traditional beer drinkers are also shifting their preferences towards lighter and more flavorful brews, such as light lagers and pilsners, which have seen significant demand. Alongside these changes, non-alcoholic beers are seeing a rising trend in the U.S., spurred by health-conscious consumers and the growing “sober-curious” movement. This demographic is actively seeking ways to enjoy beer without the intoxicating effects of alcohol, prompting brewers to innovate in the non-alcoholic beer segment.

Health and wellness trends, combined with greater awareness of alcohol’s effects, are also influencing beer consumption patterns. As more consumers look to reduce their alcohol intake or avoid it altogether, brands are responding by offering lower-calorie, lower-alcohol, or alcohol-free options. Moreover, younger generations, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are more inclined to make health-conscious choices, which has led to a surge in the demand for light and low-carb beer varieties.
