TOKYO -- The world's breweries produced steadily less in aggregate in 2014, 2015, and 2016 because of beer's reduced popularity in the world's three largest markets: China, the U.S., and Brazil.
In 2016, the world produced a total of 190.9 million kiloliters of beer, an 0.6% decline year on year according to a survey by Kirin Holdings of 177 countries and regions.
