Malaysia: Carlsberg Malaysia to double down on its premiumisation priorities
|
Carlsberg Malaysia will double down on its premiumisation priorities, leveraging premium products and innovation to drive growth despite challenging market conditions, Food Navigator Asia reported on May 11.
The firm’s most recent financial results revealed a portfolio-wide hit to its revenue, where mainstream Carlsberg beers saw a -4% decline in sales, premium products such as Kronenbourg 1664 and Somersby declined -7%, and alcohol-free Carlsberg 0.0 dropped -47%.
Despite this and continued subdued consumption across its key markets Malaysia and Singapore, Carlsberg Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Dato’ Chor Chee Heung has reiterated the company’s focus towards premiumisation as a key growth strategy moving forward.
“Amid a market that is undergoing profound changes in terms of dynamics and consumer preferences, premiumisation and innovation have emerged as our key priorities to ensure sustained return on investment,” he said.
“Premium brands such as Sapporo [are seeing] activations in priority outlets and formats; [and] innovation is supporting this agenda with expanded consumer choices for brands such as Connor’s and 1664 with new packaging innovations and pack formats.”
Recent premium innovations to have come from the brewery include Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Maly in a larger 640ml bottle, Somersby’s expansion beyond the cider category into the shandy segment with Somersby

South Korea: Craft beer boom seems to have lost momentum
|
Gompyo Wheat Beer helped make craft beer mainstream at Korean convenience stores. Six years later, the beer that symbolized the category’s breakout success is being discontinued.
Daehan Flour Mills, the flour maker that owns the Gompyo trademark, is leaving the beer business. The move aims to resolve a three-year dispute with former partner Sevenbrau over alleged technology leaks.
Industry officials say the decline reflects a broader market downturn. Craft beer grew rapidly through novelty branding and convenience store distribution, but lost momentum as consumer tastes shifted.
The viral wheat beer, a nationwide hit that sold 60 million cans over three years, will disappear once existing inventory runs out. While Daehan Flour Mills cites the Sevenbrau dispute as the official reason, industry insiders point to a more complex reality. Craft beer sales have weakened, and the Gompyo brand has lost its former strength.
The trademark holder had little incentive to maintain the business amid an ongoing legal battle. The retreat, however, is not limited to a single brand.
Craft beers that dominated convenience store shelves a few years ago are rapidly disappearing. The trend leaves one of Korea’s most dynamic consumer markets wondering where the momentum went.
In the 2010s, craft beer in Korea was considered a
