Company Description :

Asahi Breweries, Ltd. is a Japanese brewing group founded in 1889 in Osaka. Asahi ranks seventh in the world in terms of sales volume with a market share of 3%. In 2018, Asahi's sales were more than 2 trillion yen ($18.6 billion), while the profit margin stagnated at 10%. Asahi is pushed towards acquisitions by a feeling of crisis in the face of the contraction of the domestic market.

Thanks to the Super Dry label, the best-selling, the subsidiary of the Asahi Breweries group is the leader in the Japanese beer market with a proportion close to 40%. But the economic trend and consumer health consciousness caused the Japanese beer market to shrink for 14 consecutive years until 2018.
