Global Brewery Equipment Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Equipment Type (Brew Kettles, Copper Kettles, Stainless Steel Kettles, Fermentation Tanks, Others), By Brewery Type (Microbreweries, Macro Breweries, Craft Breweries), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The global brewery equipment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.76% to reach a value of US$31.399 billion by 2030, from US$20.632 billion in 2025.

The production of beer is increasing globally to meet the increasing demand owing to the popularity of beer as a recreational beverage, which in turn is facilitated by the increasing disposable income of the middle-income and low-income populations. People are spending more on premium beer. Thus, growing global beer consumption is encouraging more beer production, which, in turn, is driving the demand for brewery equipment. Additionally, the increasing number of microbreweries and breweries to increase production and meet the rising demand is further adding to the market growth of brewery equipment worldwide.

What are the drivers of the global brewery equipment market?

• Preference for craft beer over traditional beer

A growing preference for craft beer over traditional beers is also propelling the market growth of brewery equipment since craft beer is considered a much more premium and artisanal beverage. It has a variety of styles that set it apart from traditional beer. In addition, it has stimulating flavor profiles and better alcohol content. Different types of beer used, such as Indian Pale Ales (IPAs), Lagers, and Porters, among others, are fermented using better processes. Moreover, a variety of products and tastes are available for craft beers, which are absent in mass-produced ones. This leads to an increase in the setting up of craft breweries and craft beer production, thus positively impacting the market growth of brewery equipment.

Overall, U.S. beer production and imports were down 5% in 2023, while craft brewer volume sales declined by 1%, raising small and independent brewers' share of the U.S. beer market by volume to 13.3%. Retail dollar sales of craft increased 3% to $28.9 billion and now represent 24.7% of the $117 billion U.S. beer market (previously $115 billion). The biggest drivers of the higher dollar sales increase were price increases and slightly stronger onsite sales growth compared with distribution.

Moreover, the growing awareness among beer producers and breweries about transitioning into the lucrative market for craft breweries presents a significant opportunity for market players to enhance the growth of brewery equipment. Expanding existing facilities and rising investments in the latest technologies, such as automated brewing equipment for breweries, will further propel this market’s growth during the forecast period.

• Advancements in Technology

Technological advancements have contributed immensely to the brewery equipment market. Contemporary breweries are adopting highly sophisticated automation and control systems for appropriate process control, IoT along with data analytics for optimal business processes, energy-efficient technologies, and advanced filtration and separation technologies to achieve better beer qualities and precision brewing equipment as part of production lines for consistent operation at higher efficiency. Overall, this has enabled brewers to create greater beer variation, enhance effectiveness, lower costs, and keep pace with changing trends.

Major challenges hindering the growth of the global brewery equipment market:

The high cost of global brewery equipment systems, scarcity of skilled technicians, and strict government policies for complicated testing regimes are major factors limiting the market for global brewery equipment systems.

Geographical outlook of the global brewery equipment market:

• The global brewery equipment market is segmented into five regions worldwide

Geography-wise, the global brewery equipment market is divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. Many key factors are driving this industry in North America. Rising craft beer culture is booming in microbreweries and craft breweries, producing unique and quality beers using specialized equipment. This, in turn, leads to an increase in premium and specialty beer preference in consumers, thereby elevating demand for high-end brewing equipment in terms of creating complex and flavorful brews.

Further improvement in efficiency and a further cost reduction, plus an increase in beer quality, has been made through newer technology advancements such as automation and digital solutions. Higher interest in sustainability has pressured brewing machinery to be more energy-efficient and safe for the environment. Support from favorable government policies such as looser licensing laws and special care taken to favor small-scale enterprise businesses also contribute to brewery expansion.

The Asia Pacific brewery equipment market is driven by factors such as a boost in beer consumption, specifically in the emerging economies of China, India, and South Korea. The popularity of craft beer has increased significantly, thus increasing the demand for microbrewery-specific equipment. Additionally, the rise in disposable incomes and changing lifestyles have increased alcohol consumption, thereby increasing the demand for brewing equipment.

The global brewery equipment market key development:

• In October 2024, Core Equipment, the innovative brewing systems and packaging solutions provider, partnered with Bucher Denwel, a member of Bucher Unipektin, the Swiss leading supplier of process technology for the beverage and food industry. This collaboration offers a wide range of specialized equipment specifically designed for the cold block of breweries, thereby making such equipment accessible to craft breweries and contract packaging facilities, which have traditionally been limited to such equipment by large-scale industrial brewers.
• In January 2024, building on the introduction of its ABB Ability BeerMaker intelligent process automation control solution for hot block. ABB has also unveiled its technological solution for the cold block stage of the brewing process to further support breweries in their operational efficiency and adoption of digital solutions.
• In November 2023, Anthony, part of Dover Food Retail and Dover and a leading manufacturer of glass refrigerator and freezer doors, lighting systems, and display equipment for use in commercial refrigeration systems, launched its all-new Automatic Beer Cave Door for Walk-In Cooler applications. The doors feature a motion sensor on both the interior and exterior, allowing for easy two-way traffic and a better customer experience.
