Total beer sales, including imported brands, in Cameroon amounted to 6.6 mln hl last year, Journal du Cameroun reported on May 31.

According to a report by the nation’s largest brewer, Société anonyme des brasseries du Cameroun (SABC), its market share was 78% last year, followed by Guinness’ 14.4% and Union camerounaise de brasseries’ 7.2%.

SABC’s sales last year totalled 5.1 mln hl, which represents a decline of 5.7% on 2014. The company blamed the decline on a hike in excise duties and higher competition.
