In 2022, the overall volume of the beer market dropped by 5% on the year, meaning Romanians bought 15.8 million hectoliters of beer. Because of the falling purchasing power, production and sales also declined, particularly along premium brands, said the company’s representatives.

Albau ended 2022 with RON57.5 million, up 17% on the year. The brewer has budgeted RON65 million turnover for 2023, up 12% from 2022.

The company’s exports in 2022 weighed over 10% in sales.
