Follow on Google News | "Strategies for Growth in an Increasingly Consolidated Global Beer Market" PublishedNew Food and Beverage research report from Euromonitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
Key Findings * The top four global brewers A-B InBev, SABMiller, Heineken and Carlsberg have substantially increased volumes and global presence through acquisition activity in the last decade. * Posting a 19.5% market share, A-B InBev's volume sales are over double those of its nearest rival SABMiller. * The top three brewers hold substantial stakes in several other leading brewers, in addition to operating joint ventures with other partners. This increases their global reach further and creates strategic blocks to competitor acquisitions. * Acquisition activity is still continuing with the announcement that Heineken is to buy FEMSA. Consolidation should, however slow due to lack of viable targets and the high debts incurred during recent acquisitions. * The economic downturn has caused or accelerated a decline in volumes in several key markets particularly in Europe. The differing degrees to which countries were impacted illustrates the need for geographic diversity. * Growth in beer consumption has catapulted Chinese players into the top 10 global brewers. With Chinese market growth set to continue their importance to the industry will further increase.
