Ongoing premiumization of beer

Premiumization is the most significant trend influencing the global beer market. Consumers are willing to pay high price for premium quality products. In China, premiumization is primarily supported by the emergence of an aspirational middle-class population with high disposable incomes. In India, major vendors have launched products such as Amstel, Kingfisher Ultra, Ultra Max, Heineken and Storm, in the last eight years. In Australia and Japan, the growing consumer interest in exploring unique products is driving the demand for premium and high-quality beer products in the market. Lion Australia has also introduced, Iron Jack, which is a low carb, mid strength beer. Thus, premiumization is one of the pillars of strategy for breweries, which is driving the growth of the beer market in APAC.

China accounted for the most prolific market for low and non-alcoholic beer, with 29% of beer in China was non-alcoholic or had an ABV of less than 3.5% in 2016. In Australia, approximately beer with low-strength and mid-strength accounted for approximately 5% and 19%, respectively, of the beer market in 2017. The growing number of health-conscious consumers in Australia is primarily driving the growth of low and mid strength beer in the country. Consumers are increasingly shifting toward the consumption of gluten free beer, which is made of millet, barley malt, rye, corn, potato, rice, soybean, sorghum and others. In Singapore, a large proportion of population does not consumer alcohol; among beer drinkers 73% also drinks non-alcoholic beers. Tsingtao introduced a new type of “fresh draft” beer, which is a draft beer sold in bottles. It is more refreshing and smoother than regular beer, and it is ideal for consumption with meals.
