The global beer market is currently in the process of recovering from the
economic downturn. With recession striking the US and the sovereign debt
crisis placing the eurozone under strain, beer sales, along with those of all
other non-essential consumer goods, have been impacted over the last four
years. Previously reliable Western beer markets are now beset with
unemployment, reduced spending and high fuel costs.
This first edition report from just-drinks takes a look at the major markets
for premium beer across the developing world. As the BRIC nations, plus many
of their smaller, newly industrialising neighbours, represent huge potential
for growth, this report offers unique insight and analysis for beer brand
owners, marketers and strategists and will input into your strategic planning
process.
Coverage includes:
18 major market profiles
Historic and forecast beer production volumes for 20 emerging markets
Actual and forecast premium beer sales by each major region
Brand and company 2011 market shares in over ten markets
Insight from leading beer companies
Extracts:
"The Philippines, unlike Thailand, has no such objections to alcohol
consumption because of its mixed and diverse range of cultural and ethnic
influences, and its beer industry appears to be developing well. However, the
majority of sales stem from low-cost beers, with which the market is steadily
becoming saturated. This means that there is room for a premium brand to
establish a presence, but any multinational seeking to do so would need to
carefully define their product as being upmarket and strongly differentiated
from existing brands."
"A-B InBev has recently stressed a commitment to Russia and Ukraine where it
will continue to use SUN InBev to tackle Baltika's control and a new threat
from Efes. Its plans for the rest of Eastern Europe are less clear-cut since
it effectively abandoned the region in 2009. A return could be on the cards if
the company chooses to repurchase what is now StarBev from CVC though these
assets look increasingly likely to go to either Japanese brewer Asahi or
Molson Coors of the US."
"Presently, premium beers remain a very niche segment in Brazil accounting for
only around 5% of the market although further growth is predicted as
manufacturers gain confidence following the success of Stella Artois and
Bavaria Premium, both of which were launched in 2005, and continue to
introduce new brands. However, the converging market drivers could also
conspire to spark increasing wine sales, directly challenging the emergence of
a widespread premium beer drinking culture. Beer is more established in Brazil
than in many of its South American neighbour states because of its long
association with Germany as well as Portugal, tracing back to a wave of German
mass immigration in the 1820s and explaining the country's enduring taste for
traditional pilsners. From this strong base, we see Brazilian beer production
reaching 17.25m kl in 2016."
