Competitive Landscape
Heineken and Emerald Brewery Gain Ground as Boycotts Reshape Loyalty
Beer in Myanmar remains highly concentrated, but 2025 marks a pivotal shift as Myanmar Brewery Limited continues to lose market share, driven by sustained consumer boycotts of military-affiliated brands such as Myanmar Beer, Dagon, and Andaman Gold. This decline in dominance is counterbalanced by a rise in share for Heineken Myanmar and Emerald Brewery, which are seen as politically neutral alternatives.

Beer
An alcoholic drink usually brewed from malt, sugar, hops and water and fermented with yeast. Some beers are made by fermenting a cereal, especially barley, and therefore not flavoured by hops. Alcohol content for beer is varied – anything up to and over 14% ABV (alcohol by volume), although 3.5% to 5% is most common. Beer is the aggregation of lager, dark beer, stout and non/low alcohol beer.
