Key insights and drivers behind the beer and cider market performance
Scope
Inflation in Germany is projected to fall sharply and real GDP is forecast to increase in 2024, offering potential for the country’s beer and cider categories to grow.
Key Highlights
Moderation trends continued to boost zero-alcohol volume growth in 2025, particularly among younger German consumers as health awareness and lifestyle-led choices became more influential.
A rising preference for quality over quantity supported stronger trial and repeat purchases of zero-alcohol beer, helped by improved taste profiles and wider availability across retail and foodservice venues. The superpremium segment is gaining traction as consumers increasingly prioritize quality, provenance, and distinctive taste, often drinking on fewer occasions but “trading up” on said occasions, rather than buying more volumes.
