Top 10 Beers In The World, Based On Sales

The global beer market is valued at an estimated $623 billion. That’s a helluva lot of tall boys.

Here are the world’s most popular beers with different compilation methods. Drawn from the most recent sales data available, these are the most popular beer brands in the world according to global sales by volume as estimated by GlobalData Consumer.

10. COORS LIGHT
The second-best-selling beer in the U.S.

9. CORONA
The topselling Mexican beer worldwide, and the top beer import in the U.S.. An estimated 28.8 million hectoliters sold worldwide.

8. YANJING
Yanjing recently reported nearly 9 percent growth in revenue year-over-year, reaching $850 million.

7. HARBIN
Claiming to be China’s oldest brewery, this massive brand is among the Anheuser-Busch InBev fleet.

6. HEINEKEN
Netherlands-based brewer sold an estimated 34.3 million hectoliters of beer.

5. SKOL
This Brazilian make remains in the top five for another year.

4. BUD LIGHT

3. TSINGTAO
This stellar seller from China sold an estimated 49 million hectoliters of beer.

2. BUDWEISER
“Bud Heavy” is less popular than Bud Light in the US, but the “King of Beers” reigns around the world

1. SNOW
Snow holds down the top spot for another year. It sold an estimated, and astounding, 101.2 million hectoliters of beer, beating out runner-up Bud by more than double the volume. Not bad for a brew you’ve likely never had a sip of — Snow is only sold in China.

It should be of note that Snow often rolls up its sales into one figure, and that if Bud Heavy and Bud Light were combined, it would dominate the list.
