Bank of America Analysts Report US Beer Shipments Falling Below 1980 Levels
What happened
Bank of America analysts presented findings from the Beer Insights Seminar in New York City, noting that US beer shipments fell 3.9% through September. If this trend continues, annual shipments are projected to reach 176 million barrels, below the 178 million barrels shipped in 1980. The analysts cited stretched household budgets, growing health concerns, and increased demand for GLP-1 drugs and cannabis products as pressures on demand.

Why it matters
The decline in beer shipments reflects broader shifts in consumer spending and drinking habits within the US market. Analysts also noted that growth is moving toward RTDs and the 'ade' segment, while optimism remains high for the non-alcoholic beer category.
