Colombia: Craft Beer Production and Consumption on the Rise

According to data from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), the craft beer category's market share increased from 0.32 % in 2020 to 0.45 % in 2024, while national production climbed from 330 hectoliters in 2016 to over 36,000 hectoliters in 2024.

However, according to a report by the market research agency Kantar, nearly 40 % of beer consumers prefer craft options, with Blonde Ale emerging as the most successful category.

The Kantar study also states that this trend is no longer limited to consumers seeking to try something different; they are beginning to incorporate craft beer into their regular purchases.

The explanation lies in the fact that craft beer is now a balanced and refreshing beverage, attributes that encourage increasingly widespread consumption.
