Brazilians are considering the impact of alcohol consumption on health. Healthier, lighter, and unique beers can contribute to the growth of the beer category.
Laura Menegon, Analyst Food & Drink, LATAM
This Report analyzes the beer market in Brazil, considering both out-of-home consumption (in bars and restaurants) and in-home consumption (products purchased in retail for home consumption).
The most commonly consumed type of beer in Brazil is the standard variety, widely produced by the main breweries. The majority of standard beer is lager. This Report also analyzes ale-type beer, which is usually produced by craft breweries. Standard beer or lager can be described as a clear beer. After fermentation, it is filtered, pasteurized and stored before being packaged in cans and bottles for sale.
Ale is a top-fermented beer that can be bitter or mild, light or dark. The term “top-fermented” refers to yeast gathering at the top of the tank during fermentation, unlike bottom-fermented lager. Barley wine, on the other hand, is a beer with a very high alcohol content.
Based on the alcohol content by volume, the market size is defined by analyzing two main segments:
Light/without/low alcohol content: 0%-4.3%
Standard: 4.4%-5.0%
Strong and extra-strong beer are considered premium segments in Brazil, comprising about 6% of the total beer volume and included in the standard category. The categorization of beer with higher alcohol content is not significant because it represents only a small portion of an already limited market.
The following products are excluded from market size: cider, or fruit beers, carbonated soft drinks that have sugar/sweeteners added (eg shandy, root beer). Products excluded from market size are analyzed in other sections of this Report.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
From consumer reports to customised growth strategies. We have an option to suit your business requirements.
