Heineken reported Q2 volume growth of 1.9% organically, up from 1.2% in Q1, driven by premium and low‑alcohol labels. Net revenue for H1 reached €14.83 bn ($17.10 bn) and operating profit €2.17 bn, with net profit up 10% to €1.26 bn.

The premium segment grew 6%, led by the Heineken brand, while the low‑to‑no‑alcohol category jumped 12%. Beer volumes rose 0.5% and non‑beer 6%. These gains signal a broader recovery as brewers shift to higher‑margin products.

AB InBev also reported better‑than‑expected volumes, citing a pricier mix and the FIFA World Cup. Heineken’s outlook for 2026 remains backed by the continued strength of premium and low‑alcohol offerings, adding to signs of recovery in the global beer market.
