Reading A Multi-Series Chart
This is a comparison chart, 4 groups at once — the interesting question is usually how the gap between them changes, not the value of any single group in isolation.
Do not confuse "biggest" with "fastest-growing" — they are frequently different series on a chart like this one, and the gap between them can close faster than the current ranking suggests.
The most practical way to read this is relative: set the Canada Beer market figures beside other regions or segments of the same market to see where growth is concentrated.
This is a market research forecast, not an official statistic. Values after the 2018 base year are modeled projections to 2030, based on supply-side and demand-side analysis, and are updated when market conditions change.
