Rapidly Growing Microbreweries and Brewpubs to Drive the Market for Brewery Equipment

The brewery equipment market has been growing in accordance with the rise in demand and consumption of beer. The changing consumer preferences for artisanal and craft beer, instead of traditional beer or other alcoholic beverages, is driving the market for brewery equipment, globally.

The market for brewery equipment is valued at USD 16.7 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 23.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The major manufacturers that are actively participating in the growth of brewery equipment are Alfa Laval (Sweden), GEA Group (Germany), Krones Group (Germany), Paul Mueller (US), Praj Industries (India), and Criveller Group (US).

High disposable incomes and spending power encourage people to opt for premium and specialty beer. Trends such as ‘premiumization’ and beer tourism have also been impacting the craft brewery market. The brewery equipment market is driven by factors such as the increase in alcohol consumption, rise in the number of microbreweries, and continuous innovations in the brewery equipment.

Rise in demand for handcrafted beer and socio-cultural dynamics to enhance the craft brewery equipment

Based on the type of requirements and capacities of breweries, the type of equipment differs. The brewery equipment market is segmented based on the type of brewery as macrobrewery and craft brewery. The craft brewery segment is further categorized into microbrewery; brewpub; and others, which include farm brewery and craft brewery.

Consumers who are inclined to standardized tastes and quality prefer beer from big brands. In craft breweries, the beer is manufactured using a variety of ingredients to achieve the desired aroma, body, flavor, and finish. With the rising preferences toward craft beer, many microbreweries have been set up to produce different kinds of beer in small batches. According to the Brewers Association, in the US alone, there were 2,594 brewpubs. The changing social culture and growing demand for craft beer are accelerating the growth in the number of brewpubs, globally. Therefore, the craft brewery equipment market for brewpubs is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 17.8% from 2019 to 2025
