Craft beer, though a small proportion of the total market, has been the major trend in 2013. This has slowed the growth of established malt beer brands, as consumers move towards 'hand-made', exclusive beers. The market has seen minimal growth, which is expected to continue.
Though on-consumption is the highest shareholder of malt beer, it has steadily lost market share to off-consumption in recent years, a trend that is expected to continue moving forward.
