Beer in Denmark is dominated by Carlsberg and Tuborg. Since Tuborg was acquired by Carlsberg in 1970 Carlsberg has held a near-monopoly. A number of regional breweries, however, managed to survive, and most of them merged into Royal Unibrew in 2005. Also in recent years a large number of microbreweries have appeared. ==Economy== The Danish market is dominated by pale lager, with more than 95% of total sales. However, stout and other dark beers are increasing in popularity, a trend driven by the market growth of premium-priced beers. The local microbreweries are strong innovators and produce a wide variety of beer styles, including strong IPAs and stouts.〔() RateBeer brewery directory. Retrieved 31 August 2008〕 Danish beer production was 723 million litres in 2001, and increased to 870 million litres by 2005. This is an increase of 20%. Imported beer accounted for only 8% of total volume sales in 2006. This indicates that beer sales in Denmark are dominated by domestic brands; however, imports increased by 14% in 2006 to reach 36.3 million litres. Germany is the most important source market for imports. Danish beer exports was 296.1 million litres in 2006. Germany continues to be the most important export market for Danish beers. The German market accounted for 30% of exports in 2006. Based on data from the Danish Beer Association (Bryggeriforeningen), beer consumption for 2005 was 539 million litres.〔() euromonitor.com.
