Cameroon: Beer sales total 6.6 mln hl last year

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.
