China Beer Industry Report, 2009-2010
Author: helenwang
China's beer sales volume reached 42.81 million kiloliters in 2009, and the ratio of output to sales achieved 101.3%. Regarding the regional market, the developed East China tended to be mature and stable, so both output and sales volume witnessed a slowdown in growth. However, the underdeveloped regions, the central and the west experienced an increasingly fast growth, thus China's beer market had been shifting to those regions. In 2009, Southwest enjoyed the highest growth rate in beer output, holding 20%, followed by Northwest with 14.8%. Meanwhile, the number of large corporations decreased by 38 compared with the figure in 2008 via a series of adjustments of China's beer industry. Such expansions and mergers among the large corporations are continued and gradually expanding towards the central and the west in 2010.
With regard to product structure, foreign brands such as Budweiser, Heineken and Carlsberg occupy approximately 70% shares in the high-end beer market. In the meantime, domestic beer brands are making great efforts to end the predicament of low profit and small return on investment, adjust product structure and develop towards medium and high-end market in a bid to increase operating income and net profit. Now, Tsingtao, Yanjing, Pearl River and Snow have already started to deploy in medium and high-end market.

The competition among domestic beer brands is intense. Snow has expanded its market share for four successive years since it topped the industry in 2006. Tsingtao takes the second place, with little change in market share; and followed by Yanjing, with a slight growth in market share.
The mergers and acquisitions are prosperous in 2010. Asahi, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Heineken and Carlsberg have become the second largest shareholders of Tsingtao, Pearl River, Kingway and Chongqing Beer respectively. Carlsberg has started to deploy in the west; spurred by Asahi, Tsingtao has further consolidated Shandong's market and expanded the East China market; Snow firstly entered Henan's market, followed by Tsingtao and Yanjing, all trying to seize the last market in the central from Jinxing. As a result of continuous mergers and acquisitions, the industry concentration has been continuously enhanced and 40% of China's beer market has been controlled by foreign capital.
The report firstly introduces the entire scale, output, sales volume and development trend of China's beer market in recent years as well as regional market characteristics and brand competition, and then analyzes M&A in beer industry, and M&A strategies of foreign enterprises in China. Finally, it delves into the operation, product features, marketing strategies and M&A trend of China's major nine beer breweries and six foreign beer ones.

What are the “101 ways to make beer money” labels from James Ready 5.5 beer?
I have a few of them but I would like to know what all of them say. If you have them please let me know. I would also like to know what the beer caps for the “board game” and “spread the word” say. Thanks!
A ‘big brother’ database plan is on the cards for all who visits sites on computers – are we doomed?
Forget Orwell’s 1984 – the next few years in the UK may make his read seem like small beer, as ‘Room 101′ will turn out to be everywhere – either in your abode and outside the front door.
Do you think the apathy of the UK majority have brought this on. The last time I can remember people strongly against something was the Poll Tax – of course before then was the riots in cities, which despite happening for a purpose, copycat kick-offs soon turned it into a circus.
get a job haha
I can’t even believe that this could be an option, when i first read about it, i wondered whether i had suddenly been transported to Stalinist Russia, how can anyone say this would be legal. I would go ape s hit if i found that my phone was tapped and my e mails being monitored, surely this is against all ones human rights. I would find the nearest legal eagle and get some advice on how to ge this completely banned.
They have no rights to do this, not now not ever.

i hate to say this but going on my own efforts and countless others on matters that affect them, they do protest, are not apathetic, but have come across local councils and government now who do not listen, do not want to know, and
are actively dismissing people as cranks, nutters etc for wanting to fight their corner. Planning laws are a joke, work that affects us goes ahead whether we like it or not, and laws are made without ever recourse to any form of review.
suggest that not all Brits are useless, but to do something effective its has to be organised, like the marches on the hated Poll Tax, that was a bad mistake, and was scrapped, having said that the council tax, which many complain about, went ahead and now we have seen the results, for the most part its far worse than the poll tax and that is quite astonishing. I am ashamed to live in a country that treats its citizens this way.
Part 2…Are these good reasons to drink beer?
89. A BEER won’t argue that there’s no difference between
shooting down an unidentified aircraft in a war zone and
blowing a Korean airliner out of the sky.
90. A BEER will never buy a car with automatic transmission.
91. A BEER will actually *support* belching and farting and share your enthusiasm for getting them included as demonstration sports in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.
92. A BEER is always ready to leave on time.
93. A BEER never fishes for compliments.
94. Some BEERs (e.g. St. Pauli Girl) have fabulous tits.
95. BEER tastes *good*.
96. If you take a BEER outta the fridge just to look at it but then decide to drink it, the BEER won’t accuse you of “date rape”.
97. A BEER won’t raise any objections to an evening of watching “John Holmes’ Greatest Hits” on your VCR.
98. An ice-cold BEER will nonetheless let you have your way with it.
99. A BEER won’t make you pick up some tampons when you go to the grocery store.
100. A BEER won’t accuse you of lying when you say you read Penthouse “just for the articles”. (You *are* lying, but the BEER won’t accuse you of it.
101. A BEER won’t worry that you’ll go to jail if you videotape a Giants game without the expressed, written consent of the National Football League.
102. A BEER won’t fill up your car with cheesy 85-octane gas with the excuse: “But I saved a quarter!”
103. A BEER will *never* make you go to a Swedish movie.
104. A BEER will *never* make you turn off “Fists of Fury Theater” on channel 5 on Saturday afternoons.
105. A BEER won’t accuse you of being a sexist pig if you say “Gene Hackman” instead of “Gene Hackperson”.
106. A BEER won’t make you eat some experimental vegetarian meal that tastes like STP Oil Treatment.
107. When you’re through with a BEER, the thought of another BEER doesn’t make you ill.
Of course it is not appropriate. But Nancy doesn’t care. When she first became Speaker she said she needed a private jet to go home and visit her five grandchildren every weekend, which actually garnered her some sympathy as the loving grandma who can’t bear to be away from her babies. Then she turned around and told the rest of the country that aborting our own babies was cheaper than the government having to provide healthcare for them, not seeing the irony that if she cut back on her weekends to San Francisco the government could pay for the medical care of several sick children born to indigent parents. But in any event, I do have some sympathy for this woman. If I looked like Cosmetic Surgery Nancy, I’d need all that liquor to get through the day too.
Is it appropriate for Speaker Pelosi to spend $101,000 for in flight food and liquor?
It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.

Yes many if not all of them are used by liers. But it would be a mistake if you believe that all men tell lies all the time. It’s an over simplification. Sometimes you have to trust.
