What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Malts Market?
Rising beer consumption is anticipated to spur the growth of the malts market. Beer, a bubbly alcoholic drink made and fermented from cereals, often malted barley, and imbued with a tart flavor by the inclusion of hops and other components, is escalating the malt market. Malt, a paramount ingredient in craft beer, is a specially processed grain used in brewing, and its demand grows in tandem with the surge in beer intake. For instance, as reported by Kirin Holdings Company Limited, a Japanese beverage company, there was an approximate rise of 5.4 million kiloliters in total global beer consumption in 2022, tantamount to an additional 8.5 billion 633ml bottles as compared to its preceding year, which was published in December 2023. This spike in beer consumption reinforces the expansion of the malts market.
