Significant changes in the social lifestyle of the local population have contributed mainly to the growth of the North American craft beer market. The increase in disposable income has increased the demand for premium and expensive beer among consumers. Higher incomes not only increase the demand for more expensive products but also increase the demand for diversity. Therefore, it is not surprising that the craft beer market has expanded as imports have increased significantly in developed countries for decades. The demand for health-conscious consumers increases, and the demand for drinks with low alcohol content increases. The market is dominated by the new range of products offered by the main players, whose taste is good and the alcohol content is low, with an ABV of 2.8% or less. Consumer preference for low alcohol and premium levels is increasing, and exotic flavor profiles are expected to lead the global craft market in the future. The governments of countries like Canada, the United States, and Mexico are encouraging the integration of new breweries and the production of craft beer due to the positive contribution of the industry to economic development and job creation.

However, as awareness of the different styles and flavors of craft beer increases, more energy will be provided to the global craft beer market in the coming years. But strict government regulations on liquor sales and tax increases can hamper the growth of the North American craft beer business.
