Growing Popularity of Craft Beer
The demand for the craft brewing and distilling industries has experienced a significant growth during the past few years. Consumers across the world are seeking distinctive and flavorful beers, which is pushing the market for hopped malt extract in the beer market space. Moreover, the increasing development of microbreweries and the growing production of craft beer have led to the growing demand for specialty malts. The National Brewers Association revealed that as of January 2018, the consumption of malt by the US craft brewers was approximately 40% of the total malt consumed by all the brewers in the United States.
