Product Synopsis

A detailed market research report on the Japan beer industry. Researched and published by Canadean.

Introduction and Landscape

Why was the report written?
This report comprises of high level market research data on the Japan beer industry, published by Canadean. The report covers total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market valuation and pricing.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Japanese beer market is an aggregation of three subcategories with different sales trends: Malt-based beer (consisting of at least two-thirds malt/wheat), happoshu (consisting of less than two-thirds malt/wheat) and new-genre beer (alcoholic beverages that taste like beer but do not contain malt or wheat).

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

The relatively good performance of malt-based beer in 2012 was partly attributable to the aggressive promotion of premium beer. Suntory renewed "the Premium Malts" and proactively carried out promotional campaigns. Asahi released Super Dry "Dry Black", which brought new value to Japanese consumers by "combining the richness of black beer with dryness that suits the Japanese palate".

Market valuation data and pricing data, including beer consumption by price segment/distribution channel and selected consumer beer prices are also included.

Key Market Issues

The decreasing popularity of alcoholic beverages is continuing as a negative driver in the beer market. This trend is especially true among younger consumers, who grew up with wide-ranging soft drinks and are more likely to consider alcoholic beverages (especially beer) bitter and not tasty

The relatively good performance of malt-based beer in 2012 was partly attributable to the aggressive promotion of premium beer

On-premise beer consumption slightly rose in 2012, partly because the restaurant industry picked up. New beer dispensers also pushed up on-premise beer consumption.

Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 m people and the world's third largest economy

The beer market in Japan is an oligopoly dominated by four national players (Asahi, Kirin, Suntory and Sapporo) and one regional player (Orion in Okinawa).

Key Highlights

The beer market has been shrinking over the last ten years in pace with Japan's economic decline and shrinking population

Although the total beer market is expected to shrink further, the pace is expected to slow down significantly if marketing continues to communicate the value of quality beer

Malt-based beers offer brighter future

'Abenomic's, the economic doctrine of the Japanese prime minister may offer hope to the economy and beer category

Beer imports showed strong growth in 2012. Sales of new genre beer from South Korea, for example, continued to increase.
