The source notes the numbers are "based on monitoring of the Nederlandse Brouwers ('Dutch brewers') among members and non-members." Moreover, the source notes the figures comprise approximately 94 percent of the beer market.
The source does not specifically use the term "craft beer". Instead, the figures provided concern a product category called Speciaalbier (in English: specialty beer). This concerns all top-fermented beers, which could include craft beers but implies it could include abbey beers as well.
The figures have been taken from several publications.
