Executive Summary

The Chinese beer market has grown at an astounding pace in recent years, spurred on by the massive levels of foreign investment in the market, along with the rise in the average levels of consumer spending in China, thanks to the economic reform policies of the government.

China is the largest national beer market in the world. Thus China is an important market, which needs to be understood more clearly.

China is a complex market, varying widely from region to region. Indeed, the country can be described as a collection of regional markets, with very few companies able to operate at a truly national level.

The brewing industry has been one of those quickest to modernise in China, and can be seen as a yardstick upon which other industries in China will model themselves.

Despite its huge market size, there remains great scope for development, and many new opportunities are still available in China. Per capita beer consumption in China is continue to rise but the development in the market will in future rely much more on raising the average value of purchases, and persuading Chinese consumers (especially the growing ranks of urban middle-income consumers) to trade-up to premium products and brands. Thus the market has switched from simply achieving national and regional volume capacity to fill the market, towards developing national and regional brand share.

To this end, the consolidation in the industry continues, and this increasingly means significant mergers and acquisitions between leading players in the market.

Press Release

China is the largest national beer market in the world

February 26th, 2010

Global Information would like to present a market research report, "Beer in China 2010: A Market Analysis" by Access Asia.

Due to immense levels of foreign investment and increasing levels of consumer spending in China, the Chinese beer market is gaining at an astronomical pace in recent years. Because China is such an important and complex market in the beer industry, it is all the more crucial to understand the market clearly. The brewing industry is one in which other industries in China will regard as a model for comparison, considering it has been one of the fastest to modernize in China.

The vast size of Chinas market leaves ample room for new opportunities and development. In China, even though the per capita rate of beer consumption continues to rise, future market development will primarily depend on convincing Chinese consumers to "trade-up" to premium products and brands and on raising the average value of consumer purchases. As the Chinese beer market continues to grow, there will be a shift towards developing national and regional brand share, expanding on previous aims of simply achieving national and regional volume capacity. This also means that significant mergers and acquisitions between leading players in the beer market shall ensue as consolidation of the industry continues.
