根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據，全球啤酒廠庫存管理軟體市場預計到 2025 年將達到 80.2 億美元，預測期內的複合年成長率為 11.4%，到 2032 年將達到 185.2 億美元。

啤酒廠庫存管理軟體是一種專用的數位解決方案，旨在有效管理您的啤酒廠庫存、生產和銷售。即時追蹤原料、釀造批次、包裝用品和成品，以確保準確的存量基準並減少浪費。該軟體與您的銷售、採購和會計系統整合，以簡化業務並提高效率。啤酒廠庫存管理軟體可幫助啤酒廠保持成本效益、提高生產力並有效滿足客戶需求。

據美國釀酒商協會稱，預計 2020 年至 2021 年美國精釀啤酒行業的產量將成長 21%，這凸顯了小型啤酒廠日益成長的受歡迎程度以及對高效管理軟體的需求。

精釀啤酒日益流行

精釀啤酒廠注重小批量、獨特風味和高品質原料，需要精確的庫存管理來最佳化原料並消除浪費。隨著精釀啤酒需求的成長，啤酒廠面臨著追蹤多種成分、管理批量生產和確保遵守法規的挑戰。啤酒廠庫存管理軟體透過即時追蹤、自動重新排序和批次監控幫助簡化這些流程。對數位工具的依賴性不斷增強，推動了啤酒廠庫存管理解決方案的採用。

網路安全和資料隱私問題

由於依賴雲端基礎儲存、物聯網整合和線上交易，啤酒廠庫存管理軟體面臨網路安全和資料隱私方面的擔憂。啤酒廠儲存生產細節、銷售記錄和供應商資訊等敏感資料，這使得它們容易受到駭客攻擊、勒索軟體和資料外洩等網路威脅。這些風險增加了業務中斷、財務損失和合規問題的風險，阻礙了一些啤酒廠採用數位解決方案，阻礙了市場成長並減緩了採用速度。

提高啤酒廠的自動化程度

自動化系統簡化了原料追蹤、生產計畫和庫存管理，確保庫存即時更新並最大限度地減少浪費。與物聯網、人工智慧和雲端基礎的解決方案的整合可實現預測分析、自動重新排序和合規性追蹤。隨著啤酒廠擴大營運規模，自動化提高了工作流程效率、成本控制和決策能力。對啤酒廠設備和 ERP 系統無縫整合的需求進一步加速了軟體的採用，使自動化成為市場擴張的關鍵驅動力。

初期投資成本高

由於軟體許可、客製化、硬體整合和員工培訓相關的費用，啤酒廠庫存管理軟體的前期投資成本很高。即時追蹤、雲端基礎的解決方案和 ERP 整合等高級功能進一步增加了成本。這限制了軟體的採用，減緩了數位轉型，限制了效率的提高，從而阻礙了市場成長。因此，許多啤酒廠不願投資，影響了整體市場擴張，尤其是在新興國家。

COVID-19的影響：

COVID-19 疫情對啤酒廠庫存管理軟體市場產生了重大影響。停工和限制措施減少了啤酒產量並擾亂了供應鏈，從而減少了對庫存管理解決方案的需求。許多啤酒廠，尤其是中小型啤酒廠，面臨財務挑戰，導致他們推遲對軟體的投資。然而，向電子商務、線上銷售和非接觸式業務的轉變增加了數位轉型的需求。疫情過後，釀酒商將重點放在自動化和精簡庫存管理上，市場開始復甦。

庫存追蹤和管理部分預計將成為預測期內最大的部分

預計在預測期內，庫存追蹤和管理部分將佔據最大的市場佔有率。啤酒廠庫存追蹤和管理軟體簡化了庫存管理，使啤酒廠能夠保持最佳的原料、包裝供應和成品水準。透過即時追蹤、批次監控和自動重新訂購來消除浪費並防止庫存短缺。該軟體與銷售和生產系統整合，以提高效率並遵守行業法規。條碼掃描、批次追蹤和彙報等功能使啤酒廠能夠提高準確性並減少人工錯誤。

預計在預測期內，大型啤酒廠部門將以最高的複合年成長率成長。

預計大型啤酒廠部門在預測期內將呈現最高的成長率。大型啤酒廠的啤酒廠庫存管理軟體透過管理大規模生產、原料採購和分銷來提高效率。即時庫存追蹤、批次監控和自動重新訂購確保順利運行和最少停機時間。該軟體與 ERP、銷售和供應鏈系統整合，以改善預測、合規性和成本控制。

佔比最大的地區：

預計亞太地區將在預測期內佔據最大的市場佔有率，這得益於精釀啤酒廠的日益普及、啤酒消費量的增加以及飲料行業的數位轉型。由於啤酒廠業務的擴張和遵守法規的需要，中國、印度、日本和澳洲等國家是主要市場。自動化和雲端基礎的解決方案的採用日益增多，正在提高庫存準確性和業務效率。總體而言，由於對釀酒技術的投資增加，市場預計會擴大。

複合年成長率最高的地區：

在預測期內，由於精釀啤酒廠的集中、啤酒產量的增加以及對高效庫存管理的需求，預計北美地區將呈現最高的複合年成長率。美國和加拿大引領市場，釀酒商採用數位解決方案來最佳化庫存管理、簡化生產並確保遵守法規。雲端整合、即時追蹤和自動化等先進功能正在推動其採用。總體而言，對效率和自動化的不斷成長的需求正在推動該地區的市場成長。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Brewery Inventory Software Market is accounted for $8.02 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $18.52 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Brewery Inventory Software is a specialized digital solution designed to help breweries efficiently manage their inventory, production, and sales. It tracks raw materials, brewing batches, packaging supplies, and finished products in real time, ensuring accurate stock levels and reducing waste. The software integrates with sales, purchasing, and accounting systems to streamline operations and improve efficiency. Brewery Inventory Software helps breweries maintain cost efficiency, enhance productivity, and meet customer demands effectively.

According to the Brewers Association, the craft beer industry in the U.S. grew by 21% in volume from 2020 to 2021, highlighting the increasing popularity of local breweries and their need for efficient management software.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing popularity of craft breweries

Craft breweries focus on small-batch production, unique flavors, and high-quality ingredients, requiring precise inventory management to optimize raw materials and reduce waste. As craft beer demand rises, breweries face challenges in tracking multiple ingredients, managing batch production, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Brewery inventory software helps streamline these processes with real-time tracking, automated reordering, and batch monitoring. This increasing reliance on digital tools drives the adoption of brewery inventory management solutions.

Restraint:

Cybersecurity & data privacy concerns

Brewery Inventory Software faces cybersecurity and data privacy concerns due to its reliance on cloud-based storage, IoT integration, and online transactions. Breweries store sensitive data, including production details, sales records, and supplier information, making them vulnerable to cyber threats like hacking, ransomware, and data breaches. These risks increase operational disruptions, financial losses, and compliance issues, discouraging some breweries from adopting digital solutions, hampering market growth and slowing widespread adoption.

Opportunity:

Rising automation in breweries

Automated systems streamline raw material tracking, production planning, and stock management, ensuring real-time inventory updates and minimizing waste. Integration with IoT, AI, and cloud-based solutions enables predictive analytics, automated reordering, and compliance tracking. As breweries scale operations, automation improves workflow efficiency, cost control, and decision-making. The demand for seamless integration with brewing equipment and ERP systems further accelerates software adoption, making automation a significant factor in market expansion.

Threat:

High initial investment costs

Brewery Inventory Software has high initial investment costs due to expenses related to software licensing, customization, hardware integration, and employee training. Advanced features like real-time tracking, cloud-based solutions, and ERP integration further increase costs. This hampers market growth by limiting software adoption, slowing digital transformation, and restricting efficiency improvements. As a result, many breweries hesitate to invest, affecting overall market expansion, especially in emerging economies.

Covid-19 Impact:

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the brewery inventory software market. Lockdowns and restrictions led to decreased beer production and disrupted supply chains, reducing demand for inventory management solutions. Many breweries, especially small and mid-sized ones, faced financial challenges, delaying software investments. However, the shift toward e-commerce, online sales, and contactless operations increased the need for digital transformation. Post-pandemic, the market is recovering as breweries focus on automation and streamlined inventory control.

The inventory tracking & management segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The inventory tracking & management segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Brewery Inventory Software for Inventory Tracking & Management streamlines stock control, ensuring breweries maintain optimal raw materials, packaging supplies, and finished product levels.
