Beer in India

Beer in India stabilised and recorded growth of 8% in 2024, with growth supported by warm weather and low per-capita consumption of just two litres, compared with the global average of 25 litres. The Lok Sabha elections, which coincided with the second quarter of the calendar year and the peak season for beer, constrained the category’s volume potential. However, the fourth quarter, which overlaps with the festive season, saw a notable increase in demand.
