Worldwide Beer Company Sales

Ten years ago the global beer industry was highly fragmented. Since then, a steady process of consolidation via mergers and acquisitions has taken place - often focused around cost-cutting opportunities or geared towards acquiring attractive emerging market assets: (e.g. the 60 billion U.S. dollar merger between Anheuser-Busch and InBev in 2008 and Heineken's 24 billion U.S. dollar acquisition of Asia Pacific Breweries in 2012).

The visualization shows the sales of the leading beer companies worldwide in 2020. That year, Anheuser-Busch InBev was the largest beer company in the world, with sales amounting to approximately 52.3 billion U.S. dollars.
