Competitive Landscape
Anheuser-Busch Defends Lead as New Entrants Reshape Preferences
Beer in Oman in 2025 remained highly concentrated, with the top two players, Anheuser-Busch and Aujan Industries, jointly accounting for well over half of total volume. The landscape is, however, seeing increased fragmentation as a result of a growing influx of new brands, especially within non alcoholic beer, which is the dominant category.

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.
