The beer market in China is expanding: a quarter of all beer sold globally is consumed in China, the biggest beer market in the world.There is a clear trend in the market: consumption of pils beer is decreasing, while craft and special beers are gaining in popularity. The Chinese middle class consumer is more discerning and prefers quality products and has more refined tastes. A few years ago craft beers accounted for 0.3% of China’s total beer consumption. Meanwhile this share has increased to 5% and will further rise in the coming years.
