Scope

  • In Q3-17, the Chinese macroeconomy maintained stable growth momentum. Yet, while commercial beverage growth slowed down, considering the huge base, healthy development was still seen
  • Soft drinks continued to see single-digit growth in Q3-17, largely driven by key categories, such as packaged water and iced/RTD tea drinks. Dairy, however, remained relatively flat, while alcoholic drinks registered low single digit growth - this dragged down ACB growth
  • Q3-17 is still the peak season for beer consumption and hot weather, alongside various beer festivals, drove the market - leading to a small recovery this quarter
  • Q3 saw wine and spirits grow faster, thanks to the National holiday and Mid-Autumn festival. The growth rate for FABs has further slowed down, due to over fast growth in the past year and the lack of detailed specifications for industry standards. Despite this, some spirits companies continue to try this category
  • The commercial beverage industry is facing changes in consumer demand. Some products, successful in previous quarters, such as Xiaomingtongxue (Uni-President), are now experiencing stagnant or recessive growth. Thus, under an environment of upgrading consumption and increasingly personalized requests, manufacturers must pay more attention to consumer trends in order to exploit novation opportunities
  • Q3-17 saw more new products presented than in the past several quarters. Notably, the dairy industry tried to please a new generation of consumers, who have higher expectations concerning both health and nutrition concerns and product appearance
