Anadolu Efes lowered its full-year beer volume outlook after weakness in Turkey intensified during the third quarter. Vinetur reported on Thursday, November 5, that the company now expects a mid-single-digit annual decline in beer volumes, compared with its previous low-single-digit forecast.

Turkey weakness resets beer outlook

Beer volumes in Turkey fell 14.3 percent year over year to 1.6 million hectoliters in the third quarter. Consolidated beer volumes declined 5.6 percent to 3.7 million hectoliters, showing that international growth did not fully offset weaker domestic demand.

For the first nine months of 2026, total beer volumes decreased 7.4 percent to 9.5 million hectoliters. Turkey accounted for the sharper contraction, with nine-month volumes down 14.8 percent to 4.1 million hectoliters.

International growth offsets part of decline

International beer operations grew 2.1 percent in the third quarter to 2.1 million hectoliters. The performance provided support as Turkish consumers faced weaker beer demand, but management still reduced its full-year beer expectation after the summer trading period.

The comparison with earlier periods also requires care because the company's Russian operations are no longer consolidated in the same way as before. That change has been in effect since January 2025 and affects comparisons of reported group scale.

Brewer combines beer and soft drinks

Anadolu Efes brews beer and produces malt and soft drinks in Turkey and international markets, according to its Investor Relations website. The company is part of Turkey's Anadolu Group and ranks among the world's large brewers by production. Its business spans domestic beer, international beer operations and soft drinks, giving it broader exposure than a single-market brewer while leaving results sensitive to Turkish consumer demand.
