Analysis of the Development Status of China's Beer Industry in 2015
Amid significant changes in the market environment and consumer mindsets, the beer industry has entered a new phase focused on competing for high-end products, strengthening internal capabilities, and building brands. Although China is already a major beer producer, it has not yet reached the level of a beer powerhouse. To achieve the qualitative transformation from a major producer to a strong player, it is necessary to seriously address a series of unreasonable phenomena and problems in the current beer industry. Furthermore, due to long-term aggressive mergers and acquisitions, large-scale redundant construction, and capacity expansion, the industry has intensified disorderly market competition, with monopolistic behaviors such as market domination becoming increasingly prevalent.

New DistributionChina's Food Industry Faces Its Toughest Moment in 30 Years
China's food safety situation has imposed a huge cost on the food industry, as noted by Meng Suhe, president of the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology, at the 2015 International Food Safety Conference on April 22. This is reflected not only in the 'domestic demand mutation' of Chinese people buying milk powder globally, but also in the 'loss of position' of Chinese food in the global market.
