ThaiBev to lead beer industry by 2020

Its current beer market share increased to 40%.

DBS Equity Research reported that Thai Beverage Public Company (ThaiBev) aims to increase its beer market share to 45% by 2020 as it targets to achieve the lead company in the industry.

According to DBS Research, ThaiBev’s beer market share increased to 40% at present since the relaunch of Chang Beer.

“Within a year of Chang’s relaunch, it had gained 10% points, faster than expectations. Going forward, we project continued increase, driven by consistent and targeted marketing activities, and leveraging its widespread distribution,” DBS Research said.

Further, ThaiBev’s beer volume growth is expected to increase from -5.3% last year to 5% to 6% by 2019.

Singapore Business Review also previously reported that ThaiBev’s profits decreased by 60.98% to $126.9m during the first quarter this year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
