World: New study confirms Czech leadership in world beer consumption per capita
A new study by Statista has revealed how much beer nations drunk per capita around the world in 2017, with the Czechs remaining ahead of all other nations.
On average Czechs drank 137.38 litres in 2017, over 38 litres each per person than the Poles in second place.
European countries dominated the top 15 with only America and Australia sneaking making it.
Germany was ranked third with an average of 95.95 litres drunk per person last year. Austria was the 4th with 95.46 litres consumed, followed by Lithuania (92) and then Croatia with 81.19 litres on average.
After Croatia came Ireland, Latvia, Slovenia, Romania, and Bulgaria. The US were ranked 12th with Australia one place behind in the 13th.
The beer market is growing significantly and is expected to influence the market growth across developing countries. The worldwide revenue of US$281 billion in 2017 is expected to increase to US$309 billion by 2021, Statista says.
