Craft Beer Sector Growth Slows Down in the USA, States Euromonitor in Its Insightful Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

15 Mar 2017 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – The growth of the craft beer category has started to decelerate rapidly in its leading US market, a potential troubling sign for the ever-surging number of microbreweries in use. Corporate buy-outs and excessive use of the term ‘craft’ are adding to a feeling of unsecurity pertaining to the future of the sector in mature marketplaces. Meantime, consumer’s leaning towards flavourful beers as well as rising importance of the products with heritage and authenticity from pole to pole – opening up opportunities and introducing challenges for microbreweries and the brooder industry.

The growth of the craft beer category in the USA is beginning to slow down. Whilst this is unavoidable to some degree, the severity and speed of the decrease is a warning sign that the primary heavy growth period is likely to be winding down. While craft is not going anywhere, the number of microbrewers in operation seems highly unsustainable.
