The Brewery Equipment Market is estimated to be valued at USD 16.8 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 24.0 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 6.1% from 2019 to 2025. Increasing number of microbreweries and brew pubs, rise in demand for craft beer across regions, and product innovations in the brewery equipment market are factors driving the growth in the brewery equipment market.
Based on the macrobrewery equipment segment, the market is segmented into milling equipment, brewhouse, cooling equipment, fermentation equipment, filtration & filling equipment, and others. The fermentation equipment segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2019. This is attributed to the fermentation process, as the wort is kept in the tanks for a few weeks and acid is released as a byproduct during this process, which increases the chances of tank deterioration.
By brewery type, the brewery equipment market is segmented into macrobrewery and craft brewery. The craft brewery segment is further segmented into microbrewery, brew pubs, and others. The craft brewery segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR, due to the rise in demand for premium and flavorsome beer produced in small batches.
