Japan: Suntory to hold off on acquisitions for a year
|
Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd., the Japanese drinks maker that had Asia’s biggest initial public offering in 2013, plans to hold off on acquisitions for a year as it integrates past deals and bolsters existing operations, Bloomberg reported on December 6.
The company will consider issuing stock if its future deal making should exceed an initial budget of 500 billion yen ($4.9 billion), President and Chief Executive Officer Nobuhiro Torii said in an interview in Tokyo on December 5. The company could also sell bonds to raise funds, he said, adding that it has no specific plans so far.
“I don’t think we have enough capacity or ability to pursue another opportunity at this point,” Torii said, referring to acquisitions. “At least I have to take a break for 12 months.” After that, “if we deliver the plan in the next year, then our financial capability will grow.”
The Tokyo-based seller of Orangina soda and Boss coffee cut its profit outlook in November on rising marketing costs to boost domestic sales and Europe’s economic slump. The company, which began trading in July after raising about $4 billion, faces an aging population and competition from larger rival Coca-Cola Co. in the local market.

Japan: Asahi Group to launch a premium version of its Super Dry beer in February
|
Asahi Group Holdings Ltd will launch a premium version of its Super Dry beer in Japan as a pickup in the economy has drinkers indulging more in upmarket brews even while overall beer consumption is at its lowest in more than two decades, Reuters reported on December 12.
Beer sales have been hit hard by the rise of ready-to-drink cocktails and other alcoholic beverages, as well as an ageing population. Premium beers have defied the trend, however, with rising sales volumes last year that accelerated this year.
Asahi's Dry Premium will launch in Japan next February at a suggested retail price about 15 percent higher than its flagship Super Dry, Japan's best-selling beer. It will initially be available only in the domestic market.
"With 'Abenomics' we have some bright signs in the economic outlook and this is spurring growth in the premium beer market," said Tsuyoshi Morita, Asahi's head of marketing.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policy mix of fiscal and monetary stimulus has helped fuel a rise in share prices and luxury spending over the past year, while encouraging mass retailers to promote high-end consumer goods such as cashmere sweaters and gourmet coffee.
Rival brewer Suntory Holdings Ltd on December 12 raised its full-year estimate

China & Morocco: Tsingtao studying the possibility of entering the market of Morocco
|
Morocco’s increasing consumption of alcoholic beverages has attracted the interest in Chinese investors. According to a report by Lemag.ma on December 10, Tsingtao Brewery Co. Ltd., China’s second-largest brewery, has sent a commercial mission to Morocco to study the possibilities of entering the market in the nearest future.
The Chinese brewer wants to start selling its products in the country, but also make Morocco its launchpad for the other markets in Africa, it is reported.
According to IWSR (International Wine & Spirit Research), 118 million liters, it is the volume of alcohol consumed in Morocco in 2011.
Beer holds the first place with 68.3% (80.7 million litres) of total consumption, followed by wine accounting for 27.2% (32.1 million litres), and spirits for 4.5% with a volume of almost 5.3 million litres.

The Czech Republic: Brewer Pivovary Lobkowicz Group plans to list on the Czech bourse
|
Czech beer drinkers have voracious thirst and may soon be able to profit from their traditional habit if a local craft brewer follows through with its newly floated plans to list its stock on the country’s bourse, The Wall Street Journal reported on December 12.
Pivovary Lobkowicz Group AS, which owns seven breweries throughout the central European country of 10 million, on December 12 said it would like to offer its stock to the general public on the Prague Stock Exchange both to raise cash for future development and to boost the group’s profile among beer aficionados.
The company is the country’s fifth-largest brewing group behind three international groups and state-owned Budějovický Budvar AS.
“We’re seeing demand for our shares both from our commercial partners and from our consumers, which have become fond of our beers,” said Zdenek Radil, the group’s general manager.
The Lobkowicz group producers over 70 brews, centered on the world-famous Czech bottom-fermented lager style, also called pilseners, but the portfolio also includes a range of specialty beers such as ales, bocks or wheat beers as well as non-alcoholic drinks.
While the Czech beer market has declined 15% over the last five years due to two recessions and lifestyle changes that result

UK: Demand for artisan beers soars in Britain
|
In the US, the craft beer market represents 8pc of total beer sales. In Britain, that figure stands at just 0.5pc. But sales of real ale are set to skyrocket next year in the UK. According to figures from Camra, the real ale advocacy group, 187 new breweries launched across the UK over the past 12 months, the Telegraph reported on December 13.
Innis & Gunn has been blazing a trail for UK breweries across the globe. The Edinburgh-based company sold 15 m bottles of its signature oak-aged and rum-cask beers across the UK, Sweden, Canada and the US this year.
“In Canada, we are the number one and number two craft beers in the country, beating Leffe and even Newcastle Brown Ale,” revealed founder Dougal Sharp. “Eighty per cent of our £9.1 mln turnover comes from export.”
The company came about entirely by accident. Sharp was working at family brewery Caledonian when distillery William Grant approached him to create an ale-finished whisky. Caledonian’s beer was used to flavour the whisky casks. Instead of throwing the waste beer away, Grant’s staff took it home.
In 2002, Sharp left his job at Caledonian to pursue the fledgling joint-venture with Grant’s and six years later, bought
