APAC Beer Market: Segmentation

This market research report includes detailed market segmentation by type, category, distribution, packaging, and geography. The craft beer segment constituted a small percentage of the APAC beer market. However, the growing demand for low-alcohol drinks and flavored beers is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period. The increasing awareness of various forms and styles of beer is also driving the APAC beer market. Although China has the largest market for craft beer in the APAC region, countries such as India, Thailand, and the Philippines are likely to witness growth during the forecast period. The mass-produced beer segment accounted for the highest market share of the APAC beer market. The Southeast Asian countries have witnessed a significant increase in beer sales due to the growing young population, changing preferences from spirits to beers, rapid urbanization, and increasing marketing activities aimed at the young community.

On-premise sales of beers are slightly less than off-premises sales in the APAC region. On-trade sales are higher in Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, and Malaysia as consumers prefer to drink outside in social gatherings and parties. The off-premises sale of beers in APAC is expected to reach approx 49 billion liters in 2024. However, the emergence of craft beers is expected to merge a significant challenge for off-premise sales.

In the APAC beer market, premium beer categories are relatively underdeveloped than global standards. However, they are anticipated to grow faster than the overall market in the region. In China, the premium beer category has been resilient to the recent economic growth as consumers increasingly seek out for products that offer “more” in term of flavor, strength, and variety. The trend of premiumization is expected to increase the growth potential of the market in terms of value and volume. South Korea, Australia, and India are also witnessing the trend of premiumization. The mainstream beer segment, which comprises value or economy beers, has been witnessing sluggish growth in the APAC region. The introduction of craft and flavored beers and the increasing availability of premium beers in the market have led to the shift in consumer preferences. The demand for mass or value beers is expected to grow in India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore, due to their price and affordability. The demand for premium beer products is expected to come from Australia, Japan, and China.

Packaging of alcoholic beverages needs to follow not only labeling regulations but also to attract consumers’ attention. Glass bottled packaging is a popular type and accounted for the largest market share. Metal cans are the fastest-growing segment for beer packaging. Metal cans, especially aluminum ones, are portable, lightweight, and convenient to store beverages and drinks. The China beer industry is shifting toward metal cans as they are considered portability and eco-friendly. Similarly, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Vietnam are the key market for aluminum cans in the APAC region.
