Due to the fact that Portugal produces more beer than it consumes, it automatically becomes a beer-exporting country. With the production of approximately 7 hectoliters, around 1 hectoliter is sold to other members of the European Union, while another half is exported to other countries.

Total production in Portugal has been broadly stable at under 7 million hectolitres, albeit with some increases in recent years. Starting with 4 companies and 60 microbreweries, these figures almost doubled in 2018, meaning that the majority of brewing factories is now constituted by microbreweries - 115 out of 120 are microbreweries. This increase reflects growth in the production of craft beer and speciality beer segment. The per capita consumption is low, but spending is increasing over the years.
