Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
This report comprises of high level market research data on the Belgium beer industry, published
by Canadean. The report covers total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight
and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market
valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Belgium government looks into price increases of beer amidst workforce strikes and pub
closures attributable to the extension of the smoking ban across all Horeca.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The extended smoking ban in Horeca combined with a declining number of on-premise
establishments and the enduring trend of falling beer consumption has led one of Belgium''s oldest
industries relying ever more heavily on exporting.

Key Market Issues
At the end of 2011 Belgium''s economic minister has requested an investigation into announced
price rises by A-BInBev and Alken Maes amongst work force strikes over labor agreements.
Pubs are still seeing closures, but at a lower rate than the previous years.
The smoking ban was extended to all cafés, sports canteens and bars in July 2011, placing more
pressure on the Horeca sector.
SABMiller enters into a distribution agreement with the independent Van Steenberge brewery to
export their produce outside of Belgium.
Although 2011 bucked the trend and saw a minor consumption increase, Belgium brewers are
relying heavily on exports to the EU.
Key Highlights
The market volume increase in 2011 was atypical of recent trends and, on the face of it, there is
no reason to expect this uplift to continue
Exports first exceeded domestic consumption in 2006. Today more than 80% of Belgian beers are
exported and Belgium is Europe''s largest beer exporting country
Exports rose almost 5% last year. Around 80% go to other EU countries, especially close
neighbors of Belgium but shipments outside this grouping rose 17% last year
Many beers in Belgium are generally stronger than the international norm. The weaker beers tend
to be at least 5% abv, with stronger beers around 8% abv

3. Just five umbrella brands absorb almost two thirds of total Belgian beer consumption and their
combined contribution is tending to increase over time. The brand leader is responsible for a 40%
share whilst the number five brand achieves just 3%.
