2. Introduction
World's most widely consumed alcoholic
beverage.
Third most popular drink, after water and tea.
Beer is an alcoholic beverage manufactured by
the hydrolysis of starch and fermentation of the
obtained sugar. This process of preparation of
beer is called brewing.
In India, beer is one of the fastest growing
markets and is highly consumed because of
growing disposable income, the increasing
young population.
Brewery industry has grown at a CAGR of
16.94 percent and 14.57 percent on the basis of
revenue and volume, respectively, over the
period 2013-2016
4. Present state
of Beer
Industry
South India is the dominant market
Imported beers sell in five Star hotels, fine dining outlets, pubs,
resto- bars and in High Income group houses
There are as many Tax/Duty slabs as the number of states. They
also have interstate levies on stock movements. Thus all national
players like UBL, Carlsberg, SAB Miller have multi units located
close to the markets.
The industry has changed to 20% lager (5% abv) to 80% strong
lager (8% abv). The lager sells in on- Premises of Clubs & bars
and Strong sells through off premises mainly and in rustic Bars &
Restaurants.
The reason for preference of strong beer is the cost benefit of
Intoxication.
