World beer market grows

摘要

The global beer market grew by almost 1.5 percent in 2012, according to provisional data from UK researchers Plato Logic."Growth was lower than in 2011, however the development was uneven and the headline figure was dragged down by a weak last quarter in China," said Ian Pressnell, director of Plato Logic."We estimate the US market returned to modest growth and that the Far East and Central Asia region, excluding China, grew by more than 4 percent."
