Beer in Poland has always been important for Poles. Traditional Polish beer (Polish: Piwo) is usually pilsener, lager or porter.
Polish beer industry
According to a 2006 Ernst & Young report, the Polish beer market is the Europe's fifth-largest and the tenth-largest in the world. It is also one of the fastest-growing markets with the growth rate of 3-5% per year much above the EU average. Polish brewers made about 7% of the entire European production volume in 2005. Statistically, a Pole drinks some 69 litres of beer a year[1], which is the EU average [citation needed].
In 2005, breweries paid some PLN 2.5bn in excise taxes and a total of PLN 6bn in all types of taxes to the state and local budgets.
Foreign investment
Heineken-owned Żywiec, SABMiller-owned Kompania Piwowarska, and Carlsberg-owned Okocim control a total of 85% of the Polish market[citation needed]. Foreign investors have so far invested about €1bn in Poland and relocated some of their production to the country, thanks to which Polish beer exports, mostly sold under flagship international brands, rose to 3% of the total production volume in 2005.
