Mahou, Heineken and Damm accelerate their diversification

The Spanish beer industry saw a decline in sales and profits in 2025, with Mahou San Miguel, Heineken, and Damm experiencing a joint 0.13% decrease in sales to €5.872 billion. However, Hijos de Rivera, owner of Estrella Galicia, bucked the trend with a 6.7% increase in sales to €945 million. The four major breweries saw a 23% drop in combined profits to €457 million, with Mahou San Miguel, Heineken, and Damm all reporting declines.

The industry is shifting its focus to alternative beverage categories, with companies investing in non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks, such as Mahou San Miguel's recent entry into the Egyptian market with a malted beverage.
