Key Market Issues
China's economy grew at 7.8% in Q3-13, faster than the 7.7% and 7.5% growth rate registered respectively in Q1 and Q2.
The price of raw milk rose around 10 percent (year on year) during the first eight months of 2013 and dairy producers including Yili, Mengniu and Want Want raised the prices of certain products; price increases ranging from 5% to 15% were seen.
Private Label only captures a very small share in the commercial beverage market because of a low acceptance by consumers, amidst a few quality concerns. However, some modern retailers (including Wal-Mart and 7-eleven) are working hard to promote their own brands.
China's Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) stood at 50.3, 51.0 and 51.1 respectively in the three months of Q3-13, indicating that the upward trend of China's economy will suspend soon and the growth rate of the domestic economy is expected to experience a slight decline.
Chinese consumers experienced a relatively hot autumn in 2013. The third quarter also saw more rainfall than expected, with a higher level noticeable in both July and September (when compared to the same period in previous years).
Key Highlights
Nestlé has further enhanced its presence in north China. A new bulk/HOD water production line was installed in Nestlé's Tianjin factory in the first half of 2013.
Kvass from Wahaha continued to help Wahaha gaining more share in the carbonates market. The company focused on promoting the products on TV and street posters all over the country. Many people, especially out of north region, are the first time to know about this kind of product and are curious to try the new taste.
Chinese alcohol producers are eyeing foreign markets now that domestic sales growth has shrunk amidst China's frugality campaign.
As China's growing middle class continued to appreciate wine, in Q3, former Chinese NBA star and now Napa Valley winemaker, Yao Ming, is eyeing a full-court press on this newly emerging group of wine drinkers by launching a new tier of wines on the Chinese market.
The prevalence of banana flavoured milk continued into the third quarter of 2013 , with Want Want launching its own variant in July 2013.
