Glass bottles have long dominated the Japanese beer packaging market. Until 1993, glass bottled beer still accounted for more than half of all beer in Japan, but since then it has decreased significantly from year to year, from 50% in 1993 to 43% in 1995, respectively. , 39.5% in 1996, 36.9% in 1997, 36.7% in 1998 and 35% in 1999, and 32.4% in 2000. Metal canned beer accounted for the proportion of all beer in Japan, which rose from 41% in 1993 to 45.3% in 1995, 47.5% in 1996, 48.7% in 1997, 47.1% in 1998 and 1999 respectively. 47.1%, 47.9% in 2000. The proportion of barreled beer such as large casks also increased, from 8.7% in 1993 to 11.8%, 13%, 14.4%, 16.2% and 17.9% respectively in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. The annual rate was 19.7%. That is to say, in Japanese beer packaging, the proportion of metal cans changed little, the glass bottles dropped significantly, and the wood vats increased dramatically. The increase in the latter is just the decrease in the former. Big cask beer continues to grow in the Japanese market.
