Based on the forecast data, the sold production of beer in the UK is projected to decrease from 3.7802 billion liters in 2024 to 3.1359 billion liters in 2028. This represents a reduction of 17.05% over the five-year period. The year-on-year decline is quite consistent, with the largest reduction occurring between 2027 and 2028. Compared to actual figures from 2023, this forecast indicates a continuing downward trend in beer production.
This consistent decline in production suggests several future trends to watch for:
- Changing consumer preferences, potentially shifting towards non-alcoholic or craft beverages.
- Environmental and regulatory pressures impacting production processes and capacity.
- Possible economic factors affecting consumption patterns and industry dynamics.
