EU Beer Exports: the Netherlands is the largest beer exporter in the EU

In 2020, the Netherlands was the biggest exporter of beer in the European Union. It exported more than 2 billion euros worth of beer last year, mainly to the United States, of which 121 million euros concerned non-alcoholic beer. Worldwide, the Netherlands is even the second-largest beer exporter, after Mexico. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

In each year of this century, the Netherlands was the top exporter of alcoholic beer in the EU, but the gap between the Netherlands and Belgium is closing. The value of Dutch beer exports was 75 percent higher than in 2000, while the Belgian export value increased almost fivefold in the period 2000-2020. Germany and France are the third and fourth largest exporters of alcoholic beer in the EU.
