Reading A Multi-Series Chart
There are 4 separate series stacked into this one chart. Look at relative size and relative movement, not just whichever line sits highest.
Do not confuse "biggest" with "fastest-growing" — they are frequently different series on a chart like this one, and the gap between them can close faster than the current ranking suggests.
Use this chart to size the Global Beer market and to compare how fast it is expected to grow against adjacent markets — it works best as an input to a market-entry or investment decision, not as a standalone verdict.
This is a market research forecast, not an official statistic. Values after the 2018 base year are modeled projections to 2030, based on supply-side and demand-side analysis, and are updated when market conditions change.
