The average excise duty on beer in Germany is forecasted to increase consistently from 13.42 Euros per hectoliter in 2024 to 14.61 Euros by 2028. This represents an overall upward trend, indicating a steady increase in taxation on beer over the next five years. Year-on-year, the excise duty is projected to rise by approximately 2.24% from 2024 to 2025, 2.26% from 2025 to 2026, 2.07% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.02% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the excise duty is approximately 2.14%.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes within the EU that may impact excise duties, shifts in consumer behavior towards alcohol consumption, and economic factors such as inflation or changes in GDP that could influence government revenue strategies. Additionally, the sustainability trends within the beverage industry might lead to reforms that affect the tax landscape.
