FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
The alcoholic drinks market will be analyzed taking beers, ciders & fabs (flavored alcoholic beverages), spirits and wines producers as players. The key buyers will be taken as retail and on-trade companies, and independent growers of apples, grapes and other raw materials as the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 9: Forces driving competition in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Growth within the alcoholic drinks market has been robust and steady within the last few years, which tends to reduce the rivalry to some extent and attract new players. The market leaders produce their own, recognized brands and operate in various segments of the market, which is possible due to the ease of capacity increases, once a company is established. There is a high degree of product differentiation, due to the variety of products offered within the three defined segments, which include: beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages), spirits and wines. Buyer power varies, depending on buyers’ reliance on alcoholic drinks sales to generate revenues. Therefore, buyer power is greater amongst larger retailers (supermarkets/hypermarkets), as alcoholic drinks are just one of many products they have on offer. The wide range of brands available, with an accompanying variance in quality and price, boosts buyer power. This is however diminished to some extent if consumers favor particular brands, as retailers will be forced to store them. Entering a niche segment may form a successful strategy, as there is a rising demand for specialty alcoholic beverages and these are marketed on the basis of quality and can be sold at higher prices.

Buyer power
Figure 10: Drivers of buyer power in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
The main buyers to the Chinese alcoholic drinks market include: supermarkets/hypermarkets, independent retailers, and on-trade businesses; together they account for just under 97% of the distribution channels. The switching costs for buyers are not particularly high, and due to existing possibilities of product differentiation across the three segments in this market (beers, ciders & FABs, spirits and wines) consumer demand is likely to influence retailers stocking decisions. This is particularly the case for on-trade businesses and specialist retailers, as alcoholic drinks for integral part of their business; this reduces the buyer power somewhat. However, alcoholic drinks are not the only products on most retailers’ offer, which indicates that they are not reliant upon the sale of these alone. Consequently, this increases buyer power. Possibilities of backward integration exist, i.e. in form of supermarket chains producing their own, often cheaper than their branded substitutes, alcoholic drinks. However, in terms of brand quality, the major alcoholic drinks manufacturers have the edge over their supermarket rivals, diminishing their buyer power. Overall, buyer power is moderate in the alcoholic drinks market.

Supplier power
Figure 11: Drivers of supplier power in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Suppliers to the alcoholic drinks market are relatively diversified, as each segment (beers, ciders & FABs [flavored alcoholic beverages], spirits and wines) requires different inputs to form the principle ingredients of each individual product. This illustrates that suppliers are relatively fragmented, when the market is considered as a whole. Depending on market segment, specific inputs may differ. Key inputs to the beers, ciders & FABs segment include malted grain, hops, apples and other flavorings. The raw materials required for the production of spirits are cereal grains, fruit and vegetables used in the distillation process. Hops are generally bought from independent producers, with barley often bought from farmers. Apple growers are key suppliers for the production of cider. Grapes are a key input for the production of wine, and although some larger players own/lease vineyards, they also source grapes from independent suppliers. As many of these suppliers operate independently and on a relatively small scale, their influence on the market is weakened. The beers, ciders & FABs segment is predominant in China, accounting for 61.5% of the markets' value, which suggests that suppliers to this segment have a greater influence than that of remaining suppliers of raw materials. Overall, supplier power is moderate in the alcoholic drinks market.

New entrants
Figure 12: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
New players may enter the market through one or multiple segments. Entry to the alcoholic beverages market may be achieved on large or small scale by finding a niche market. There is a rising demand for specialty alcoholic beverages, i.e. beer. These are marketed on the basis of quality and diversity and can be sold at higher prices. Investment in production equipment can be recouped by adding a good margin to the price of the end-product. The larger companies, however, tend to rely on the mass-market production of internationally palatable alcoholic drinks. Here, margins may be much lower. Producers need to distribute their product widely, which generally relies upon retail channels, such as supermarkets. Despite the presence of company-owned on-trade outlets, these retail chains often have considerable buyer power, which can force down the prices that beer producers are able to obtain. In this a market, scale economies of production become very important. As a result, barriers to entry, such as capital outlay on large-scale production plants and the need to establish reliable supplies from multiple third-party growers, become much higher. Overall, the threat from new entrants is moderate in this market.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 13: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Substitutes to the alcoholic drinks market include non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks, carbonated soft drinks or water. Some alcoholic drink producers offer their own alternatives, like alcohol free lager. However, there is scope for inter-segmental substitutes, as most operators focus on one production segment within the market, e.g. beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages), spirits or wines. For such players, substitutes could include spirits if the main product their manufacture is beer, etc. There is some difficulty with assessing the benefits of substitutes within the defined segments of the alcoholic drinks market. For example, not only beer but also champagne and white wine are optimally stored in chilled cabinets, which make storage more expensive; more concentrated forms of alcohol (spirits) may offer better returns on shelf space than higher-volume wines and beers, but the per-unit-volume price is often scaled with alcohol content. In terms of non-alcoholic beverages, there are health benefits associated with ingredients, such as fruit, which have vitamin content. This is contrasted to the potential detrimental effects of the over-consumption of alcohol, which include liver damage, and addiction. Some medical research has also argued for the benefits of consumption of wine, in moderation, which could influence the performance of the market leading to changes in market trends, with consumers becoming more health conscious and switching over to health drinks. Ultimately, due to extensive product differentiation within the alcoholic drinks market, and options of a variety of nonalcoholic drinks readily available, the threat from substitutes is boosted and overall assessed as moderate within the alcoholic drinks market.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 14: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the alcoholic drinks market in China, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
The alcoholic drinks market in China is rather concentrated with the leading players accounting for 50.8% market share in volume terms. In the Chinese region, the beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages) segment is predominant within the alcoholic drinks market, accounting for 65.1% of the markets' value. Relatively strong product differentiation across the three segments of this market (beers, ciders & FABs, spirits and wines) reduces rivalry to some extent. Although specialty products are available, significant players largely operate mass-marketed products. This implies high fixed costs, because of the need to operate large breweries, distilleries, and requirement of significant storage space and facilities for fermentation. Overall, there is a moderate degree of rivalry in the Chinese alcoholic drinks market.
