Summary
Why was the report written?
This report comprises high level market research data on the China beer industry, published by Canadean. The report covers total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Growth was lower in 2012, although still higher than most Western markets. More brewers are entering the premium beer sector to offset the thinning margins in mainstream and discount beer.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
2012 sales growth was mainly hampered by fiercer competition, rising costs in labor, packaging and raw materials. The lower GDP growth rate this year also had a negative influence on beer consumption.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The China Beer Market Insight report is designed for clients needing a quality in-depth understanding of the dynamics and structure of the Beer market. The report provides a much more granular and detailed data set than our competitors. All data has been researched, brand upwards, by an experienced ‘on-the-ground’ industry analyst who conducts face-to-face interviews with key producers, leading companies in allied industries, distributors and retailers.
Reasons To Buy
China has the world's highest overall consumption, but leading brewers face an uphill struggle to find strong profits.
Given the country’s preference for high-strength baijiu, health and safety issues associated with alcohol are a concern. Increased taxes coupled with media and industry promotions for healthier drinking habits have meant more consumers are choosing lower-strength alcohol.
On 15 April 2012 China's adjusted tax on imports came into effect, which means stricter control on goods coming into the Chinese mainland. According to the latest revision, tax equal 50% has been imposed on wines, beer and other sprits and tobacco.
China is a collection of regional markets with very few brewers able to operate at a truly national level. There are over 500 breweries, though more than half are unprofitable and almost half of the production capacity reportedly lies idle.
As China struggles to export its domestic brands westwards, Tsingtao seems to have bucked the trend to be one of the few to have had any semblance of success in western consumer markets.
