The global hops production is dominated by the United States, Ethiopia, and Germany, which together constitute about 84% of total production. The U.S. leads with nearly 30% of the market, while Ethiopia and Germany trail closely behind with approximately 27% each. Secondary producers include the Czech Republic, China, and Poland, collectively making up around 9%. Smaller contributors such as New Zealand, Spain, and France contribute less than 1% each.
Year-on-year variations from 2023 show notable growth in Czech Republic (5.93%) and Poland (4.16%), while significant declines were observed in Slovakia (-14.93%) and the United Kingdom (-13.48%).

Future trends to observe include the potential for growth from emerging producers like Poland and Ukraine amid declining production in established regions like the United Kingdom and China. Sustainable and organic hops production may also gain traction, driven by brewing trends and consumer preferences.
