Despite a decline in the overall Irish beer market during 2013, Heineken Ireland has made market share gains and continues to extend its leadership of the lager segment. Covering both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, Heineken Ireland employs 544 people and maintained its revenue at €477 million in 2013, driven by robust company investments behind its brands.

The Heineken brand remainsIreland’s leading lager, with a 33% value share of the lager market. One third of all consumer spend on lager is focused on the Heineken brand.

Our sustained, high impact commercial programmes continue to deliver across our main brands and helped our company extend its leadership within the lager segment.”
