In 2023, the malt liquors and malt sector in the UK generated a turnover of 9.12 billion pounds. The forecasted turnover shows a steady year-on-year increase through to 2028. From 2024 to 2025, the sector is expected to grow by approximately 0.65%. This upward trend continues with each subsequent year showing a slight increase in percentage, culminating in a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.68% by 2028. Such consistent growth indicates a stable market with modest expansion.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards craft and premium malt products, impacts of regulatory changes on production and pricing, and potential disruptions from emerging non-alcoholic alternatives. Sustainability initiatives and eco-friendly packaging could also influence market dynamics over the coming years.
