Reasons To Buy
Over many years the US beer market has become overly dependent upon a handful of top-selling mega brands and the micro brewery scene has provided an alternative to this and shown that consumers are interested in new, innovative beers..
Within the core beer market segments new products made a significant contribution to the turnaround in the fortunes of the beer market. For example the success of Bud Light Platinum in its first year helped to stem the decline of light beer consumption.
However most of the larger and more established beer brands experienced another year of quite significant declines as unemployment, underemployment and continuing pressures on household incomes among blue-collar workers once again curtailed discretionary spending by the nations core beer drinkers.
In spite of an explosion of new craft brands coming onto the US beer market over recent years, it still remains dominated by a relatively small number of national brands: just 10 top-selling names accounted for over 60% of all consumption in 2012. However, what is clear is that this dominance is steadily but surely being eroded
One of the most impressive features of the US beer market is the high level of import penetration with two of the top 10 brands being shipped in from overseas rather than being produced locally. Corona Extra has grown to be the largest of these with a market share of almost 4%.
