Brazil: Zero-alcohol beer sales increase by 750 mln litres in 2024

The president of the National Union of the Beer Industry (Sindicerv), which represents 85% of beer producers, confirmed that significant progress was made in the brewing sector in 2024, FreshlyBottled.com reported on January 31.

One of the most notable events was the approval of tax reform regulations.

"The text accepted by deputies and senators will bring to Brazil the best model of progressive taxation of alcoholic beverages, which is based on the alcoholic content," said the Sindicerv president in a statement.

Another major achievement was the significant rise in zero-alcohol beer consumption, which saw a national increase of approximately 750 million litres in 2024.
