According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global hops market is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period from 2024 to 2032. With a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.60%, the market is expected to be primarily driven by the expanding craft beer industry, growing consumer preference for unique and flavorful beer experiences, and the increasing application of hops in various industries beyond brewing.
Hops, the flowering cone of the Humulus lupulus plant, have been a key ingredient in beer brewing for centuries. However, in recent years, the market for hops has witnessed a transformation fueled by the rising popularity of craft beer. Craft brewers, characterized by their emphasis on quality, innovation, and unique flavor profiles, have been driving the demand for a diverse range of hop varieties to create distinct brews that cater to evolving consumer preferences.
Apart from the brewing industry, hops find applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the food and beverage sector, further expanding the market opportunities. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of hops have led to their incorporation in various products, including herbal supplements, skincare products, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Moreover, the global consumer shift towards healthier lifestyles and the increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of certain compounds present in hops, such as xanthohumol, have contributed to the market growth. Xanthohumol, known for its potential anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits, has garnered attention from both consumers and researchers, driving the demand for hops-based products.
