Global beer consumption stood at approximately 188.79 million kiloliters in 2018, up 0.8% from the previous year, the first time in four years. Total beer consumption in China decreased by 2.0% year-on-year due to the maturing of consumer demand and saturation of the market. On the other hand, products in the mid to high price range have been strong due to increased individual spending arising from more wealthy people. In the United Kingdom, beer consumption increased significantly by 5.7% year-on-year due to the Soccer World Cup and good weather. In the Philippines, beer consumption increased by 8.8% year-on-year. Although the growth in individual spending slew down slightly due to a temporary acceleration of inflation from factors such as rice shortage arising from weather, consumption increased overall for the year with support from the generally favorable external environment such as a better income situation brought about by sustained economic growth. Praise the Lord all glory to God In the Name of Jesus Christ
