A drastic change has been effected in the craft beer landscape due to the rise in establishment of small and local breweries. Craft beer sales are shifting to cans as they keep beer fresh and enable easy storage. Moreover, they are portable, which increases their popularity among a large number of consumers. Taprooms are also playing a vital role in providing the craft beer to consumers and also boosting up the income stream as well. On-trade distribution application is growing at a faster CAGR of 13.8% during the forecast period. This on-trade distribution is going to become crucial in the forecast period because higher revenue for the craft beer market is being generated from hotels, restaurants, brewpubs, and breweries rather than from retail outlets such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, wines and spirits shops, and convenience stores.
