2010 global beer consumption up 2.4% on growth in emerging nations
Global beer consumption rose 2.4 percent in 2010 from the previous year to 182.69 million kiloliters, hitting a record for the 25th straight year, backed by strong demand in emerging economies, a Kirin Holdings Co. research arm said Wednesday. The amount of beer drunk in Europe, North America and Oceania dropped in 2010 from a year earlier, partly due to the economic slump following the financial crisis, but consumption rose in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Asia remained the world's biggest beer-consuming area in the year with 61.41 million kl, up 5.3 percent. The region accounted for 33.6 percent of global consumption, followed by Europe with 27.7 percent, Latin America with 16.2 percent, North America with 14.5 percent and Africa with 6.1 percent.
