Beer segment in Denmark  

The beer & cider market consists of the retail sale of beer and cider. The beer segment consists of ale, dark beer, lager, stout, flavored beer, wheat beer, beer mixes, and seasonal beer. The cider segment consists of apple cider, flavored cider, pear cider, and seasonal cider.  

The Danish beer market saw a moderate rate of value decline through the recent years. Over the forecast period, this decline is expected to slow; a weak rate of decline is anticipated. The standard lager segment was the market's most lucrative beer segment sold. 

Category segmentation  

The Beer market is categorized into five major segments – Standard lager, Premium lager, Low/no alcohol, Ales, stouts & bitters, and Specialty beer. Standard lager is the largest segment of the beer market in Denmark.  

Competitive landscape  

The beer market in Denmark is consolidated, with the top four players controlling the majority stake of the market. Some large beer producers have begun to employ brand management strategies in order to ensure their brand is identifiable to the public. This is especially important because purchasers have a wide variety of beers to choose from and incur only low switching costs when changing brands. Major players may offer premium beers, but much of their business involves mass-market products; this means large breweries are required, and therefore that players in this market endure high fixed costs. At the same time, beer prices are subject to heavy downward pressure by large chain retailers, which are often able to exert strong bargaining power. 

Market distribution  

Supermarkets/hypermarkets form the leading distribution channel in the Danish beer market.
