The Global Market for Malt Beverages

Malt beverages (non-alcoholic) are an increasingly important element within the global beverage spectrum. This report defines what they are and focuses on three key regions, MENA, Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. The "The Global Market for Malt Beverages" report provides a global view of malt beverages, their consumption and positioning followed by consideration and characterization of each region before focusing on each individual market. Both clear and dark malt beverages are included.

Key Findings
There are two key types of Malt Beverage : dark nourishing malt drinks found in Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, and clear, often flavoured, malt beverages that are important in the Middle East & North Africa. Dark Malts appeal primarily to non-beer drinkers, including women and children, whilst clear malt beverages tend to compete with beer, especially non-alcoholic beer. Therefore although both types of malt are growing, the drivers are quite different.
