Market Insights & Analysis: Global Brewery Equipment Market (2024-30):

The Global Brewery Equipment Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 8.1% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-30. Over several eras, alcohol has played a significant role in social interaction and bonding. Beverages like beer, wine, ale, and lager are increasingly being served at social gatherings, as alcohol plays a significant role in social interaction and bonding. Among these, beer is the most widely traded and consumed alcoholic beverage in the world.

When breweries began to operate, demand and supply chains surged quickly. In turn, the establishment of new breweries accelerated the manufacturing of high-quality and economical brewing equipment. As a result, it led to the opening of several breweries in developing economies, serving the burgeoning appetite for alcohol-based events presented by the urban middle class.

Further, with technological innovations and the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, automated systems, robotics, and sensors, hygiene & standard qualities have improved in the brewery sector. Moreover, key players investing in businesses such as cellar equipment, outdoor expansion, and energy recovery methods to reinforce their market presence will prompt the adoption of brewery equipment in the coming years.

Global Brewery Equipment Market Driver:

Increasing Demand for Craft Beers – The expanding urbanization and developing financial conditions created a shift in consumer preferences for adopting the beer culture, particularly among the younger generation. With beer culture propagating worldwide, the manufacturing of craft beers, also known as artisanal beers, has been exemplified in recent years. As they are often experimenting with different types of ingredients to create a distinct flavor, craft breweries are gaining traction over other forms. Craft brewers frequently need specialized, smaller-scale equipment, which is fueling the demand for brewing equipment that is varied and cutting-edge.

For instance, Miami Brewing Company creates exceptional brews with tropical fruits that South Florida and the Redlands offer. Thus, craft breweries garner attention from youth worldwide with varied brewing techniques and innovative flavors, encouraging industry expansion.

Global Brewery Equipment Market Opportunity:

The Continual Rise in Macrobreweries and Brewpubs to Offer New Opportunities – The increasing number of macrobreweries and brewpubs has conclusively influenced the demand for corresponding tools and equipment. Further, the necessity for extensive maintenance, which is essential during and after installation, expects services such as annual maintenance contracts and after-sale services. Therefore, it strengthens the affiliation between beer and equipment manufacturers.

In addition, the leading services that beer manufacturers require from brewery equipment producers are operator training, factory acceptance testing, preventive maintenance by exceptional technicians, and timely services that subscribe to their operational efficiencies. This benefits a clear understanding of their machinery and enhances performance, leading to exclusive market enlargement.

Global Brewery Equipment Market Challenge:

High Cost of Maintenance & Power Consumption – The continual rise in the cost of maintenance and power consumption obstructs the desire to increase the operational volume of brewery equipment, which is expected to hamper market growth. Moreover, the brewing process involves refrigeration, lighting, and other processes that require electricity and natural gas to use brewery equipment. However, brewing consumes the most natural gas, and refrigeration exhibits the highest power consumption. Thus, producers’ net profit is affected, specifically for the small brewers whose turnover is lower than that of large brewers. Therefore, the high maintenance & power consumption costs associated with the use of brewery equipment are posing challenges to the industry’s expansion.

Global Brewery Equipment Market Trend:

Installations of Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) – Artificial intelligence gives the brewmaster the comfort of enhancing exceptional recipes with upgraded consumer ratings and feedback. Thus, the key industry players are advancing to automate their manufacturing principles to succeed in degrees of graining and filtration to preserve the product’s original flavor. In addition, artificial intelligence enables remote operators to set up a specific degree in their mechanisms. Thus, technological installations reduce the complexities involved in brewing without altering the art of brewing entirely. Hence, they are expected to contribute to the growth of the Global Brewery Equipment Market in the coming years.

Global Brewery Equipment Market (2024-30): Segmentation Analysis

The Global Brewery Equipment Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends and influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2024–2030 at the global level. According to the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Equipment Type,

• Macrobrewery Equipment
• Craft Brewery Equipment
• Mashing Equipment
• Storage Equipment
• Compressors
• Cooling Equipment
• Others (Mash Kettles, Lauter Tuns, etc.)

The macrobrewery equipment is expected to sustain its superior position in the industry during the forecast period.  The macrobrewery equipment is further sub-segmented into milling equipment, brew house, cooling equipment, fermentation equipment, filtration, and filling equipment. Among these, milling equipment is projected to register the highest growth rate during the anticipated period.

Further, milling is the process of crushing the malt kernels into smaller particles physically for the preparation of lautering and mashing. It has to be processed conscientiously to find a perfect balance between a grind that is too fine and one that is too rough. Thus, it yields the most expensive extract (wort) and operates with contentment throughout the brewing process. Backed by the greater adoption of these macro equipment, the industry is likely to flourish in the coming years.

Based on Mode,

• Manual
• Automatic
• Semi-Automatic

The automatic segment is anticipated to emerge as the leading market among its peers in the expected time frame. It is primarily because the increasing focus on mechanization and digitization by beer manufacturers ensures the cumulative amplification of cost benefits.

Moreover, the installation of software and hardware to automate the brewing process instead of humans has attempted to terminate manual labor to enhance beer quality. Thus, the desired operations will be repeated once the automation streamlines all functions. Therefore, macro brewers adopt automation as a pivotal infrastructure component by investing in automation brewing technology, packaging volume, and incremental brewing. Consequently, the aforementioned factors are expected to thrust & enhance the Brewery Equipment Market Size over the forecast period.

Global Brewery Equipment Market (2024-30): Regional Projections

Geographically, the Global Brewery Equipment Market expands across:

• North America
• South America
• Europe
• The Middle East & Africa
• Asia-Pacific

Europe holds the largest share of the Global Brewery Equipment Market and is expected to grow remarkably over the forecast period. The expanding preferences for different types of beer choices compared to their traditional form have opened up new avenues for craft beer producers in this region. In addition, brewery equipment in the Asia-Pacific is also anticipated to register a lenient rate of CAGR in the coming years.

China dominated the Asia-Pacific brewery equipment industry, as consumers prefer low-calorie or no-alcohol beer, projecting craft beer adoption in that region. Furthermore, various rules and regulations by the government have encouraged the expansion of the breweries, driving revenue growth of the market. Hence, these regions are expected to receive more investments from major companies, driving the demand for brewing equipment over the forecast period.

Global Brewery Equipment Industry Recent Development:

• April 29, 2022, Alfa Laval earned its most significant order to provide brewery systems to Golden Brewery, the largest brewery in the US and second largest in the world. Delivery of the order, which is scheduled to begin in 2022 and be completed in 2024, will be coordinated by the Food & Water Division's business unit Food Systems.
