Product Synopsis
A detailed market research report on the Brazil beer industry. Researched and published by
Canadean.
Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
This report comprises high level market research data on the Brazil beer industry, published by
Canadean. The report covers the total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight
and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market
valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Strategy is the word defining the current state of the Brazilian beer market, especially due to
AmBev, which is now focusing on revenue increase after reaching its market share limit. Over the
past three years the company has been raising its prices, testing elasticity and receiving good
acceptance. Despite GDP levels falling below expectations and several economic implications, the
Brazilian beer market continued in its growth path, increasing by just over 3%. The market was
fuelled by several investments made by big players, added to by the acquisition of Schincariol by
Kirin Group in the second half of the year.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
As more and more Brazilians enter the labour market, on-premise channels are gaining
importance and becoming highly strategic. As AmBev moved towards the premium segment,
some gaps were left in the market, giving space to brands such as Itaipava, Kaiser and some
renewed discount brands. These brands were given the chance to reposition themselves, though
this did not involve growth of volumes since AmBev kept its share almost stable.

Key Market Issues
Small/regional companies, especially price driven brands, already started to withdraw from the
market due to lack of capital, professional management and even lacking being adapted into the
market.
In addition to the increase in purchasing power among low income consumers, over the past few
years a search for more sophisticated beers has occurred among the high income consumers.
A migration from Brazilian cachaça (Brazilian rum) has occurred, especially based on investments
made by companies in distribution, advertising and also from purchase power improvements.
During 2011, several efforts from AmBev were made to improve distribution and diminish third
parties (and consumer prices), especially in the north and northeast regions.
Also, one of the biggest retailers in Brazil, CBD (Pão de Açucar), improved their beer portfolio,
including several premium and superpremium imported beers. This was soon followed by other
specialty retailers, who although not as big are still important channels.
Key Highlights
A migration from Brazilian cachaça (Brazilian rum) has occurred, especially based on investments

3. made by companies in distribution, advertising and also from purchase power improvements. It is
expected that another multinational company will enter the Brazilian market in 2012, causing some
change to the segmentation of the market.
Beer specialties franchises have been launched, improving superpremium presence in off-premise
channels (kiosks) and also beer clubs, with monthly premium and superpremium beer tasting.
Imports gained importance, supported by beer specialty franchises and improving distribution from
trade companies. With several investments made by metal can producers, it is expected that this
pack material will reach 40% share in the next five years without suffering shortage of packs,
which has occurred in the past years.
Some of the players and brands known as discount beers have been redesigned and repositioned,
intending to fulfill gaps left by investments made to premium and superpremium beers. These
brands have gained share.
The dramatic decline in the volume of ''Others'' reflects the impact of the SICOBE measures, the
retreat from illegal players and also, the impact on legal discount beers.
