Volume sales of beer sales declined in the US in 2024. As consumers struggled with stagnating wages and dwindling savings, spending on beer held steady while increased packaging, labour, and ingredient costs drove unit prices at the expense of the traditionally volume-driven category. Much is made of beer’s resilience and price inelasticity in difficult economic times, but we have now seen multiple years of volume contraction across categories.
