Budweiser Brewing Co APAC Ltd (01876) - Comprehensive analysis
Budweiser APAC is the leading beer brewer by sales value in China, holding approximately 40% of the premium segment market share. The company benefits from a comprehensive nationwide distribution network and a diverse portfolio of international premium beer brands, supported by the substantial resources of its parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Budweiser APAC has also shown proficiency in digitalizing its channel management, which we believe gives it a competitive advantage over its peers and is crucial for seizing premiumization opportunities as volume growth stabilizes. We anticipate that the long-term premiumization trend in China's beer market will persist, despite current sluggish consumer sentiment, due to a favorable competitive environment and the shared objectives of major brewers to pursue price growth in the long run.
