Asian countries contributed most to the growth, especially Vietnam, China and India. Volume growth also continued in Africa and the Middle East, where Heineken described it as robust.

In Europe, the summer weather helped sales grow. Heineken said growth also returned in North and South America, including Mexico and Brazil.
