Reading A Multi-Series Chart
This chart compares 4 series side by side, not one trend over time. Read them against each other — the biggest number in the room is not automatically the most important line to follow.
Size and growth rate are two different questions here — a series can be small in absolute terms and still be growing the fastest of the group. Check both before drawing a conclusion.
Treat these values as a directional estimate of the Japan Beer market. They are most useful for comparing segments and regions against each other, and for spotting where demand is expected to build fastest.
Figures before the 2018 base year are historical estimates; the years through 2030 are projections built from industry data, company revenues, and primary interviews. Forecasts are revised as new data comes in, so check the full report for the latest assumptions.
