Cyprus Beer Market Experiences Robust Surge in September 2025 Deliveries

Recent data from the Statistical Service (Cystat) reveals that Cyprus’ beer market is witnessing a significant rebound. Total deliveries jumped 24.1 percent year-on-year in September 2025, reaching 4.37 million litres compared to 3.52 million litres in September 2024.

Domestic Consumption Soars

Local consumers have driven most of the momentum, with domestic beer deliveries rising 23.5 percent to 4.18 million litres from 3.39 million litres during the same period last year. This robust domestic performance underlines enhanced consumer confidence and a rejuvenated market demand.

Impressive Growth in Exports

Exports have also registered a remarkable escalation, surging by 40.3 percent to 183,503 litres compared to 130,825 litres in the previous year. This substantial increase suggests expanding international interest in Cyprus’ beer exports, bolstering the nation’s trade outlook in the sector.

Year-to-Date Market Context

Notwithstanding the strong monthly figures, the first nine months of 2025 recorded a slight decline of 2.4 percent, with total beer deliveries decreasing to 34.40 million litres from 34.79 million litres in the corresponding period of 2024. This mild contraction may indicate broader market challenges that warrant closer scrutiny moving forward.

Cyprus-Based ASBIS Hits Record $1.05bn In Monthly Revenue, Up 216% Year On Year

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
