THE OPERATION
SABECO announced its audited financial report for 2021, recording a total net revenue
of nearly VND 26.374 trillion and a post-tax profit of nearly VND 3.930 trillion, equivalent to
94% and 80% respectively compared to the same period in 2020. However, like many other
businesses, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic caused the business results of the past
year to not meet the initial plan. Nevertheless, thanks to implementing many comprehensive
solutions to optimize business management and continue to promote sales activities, the
company has contributed to minimizing the serious impact of the 3rd and 4th waves of the
Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, SABECO's net revenue only slightly decreased compared to
many other manufacturing businesses.
Sabeco reaped outstanding business results as its net revenue in 2022 increased by
approximately 33% compared to the same period, reaching nearly 35,000 billion dong.
After-tax profit reached 5,500 billion dong, an increase of 40% compared to 2021.

THE BRANDING IDENTITY SYSTEM
The company has just announced the re-launch of the Saigon Beer brand. With a new design
featuring the image of a dragon - symbolizing power, prosperity, and representing Vietnam
at the center position, the new Saigon Beer image ensures both aesthetic and consistent in
all product categories of the brand.
In addition, the new image also represents the spirit of constantly overcoming challenges,
youthfulness, and progressiveness of young Vietnamese people.

MACRO ENVIRONMENT
POLITICAL
The political environment is stable, the
legal system is increasingly improved, creating
favorable conditions for businesses to work.
According to the documents of the 13th
National Congress of the Communist Party of
Vietnam, the assessment of external
achievements: "Foreign relations and
international integration continue to expand
and deepen, creating a stable and sustainable
relationship framework with partners.” The
strengthening of Vietnam's role in the
international arena is a good premise to create
favorable conditions for Vietnamese companies
to boost exports, including Sabeco. At the same
time, it also presents Sabeco with great
challenges when competing with similar
products of foreign importers into Vietnam.
Besides, in May 2010, the Government increased the minimum wage to 730,000
VND/month. An increase in the wages of employees will increase the purchasing power of
the whole country somewhat, but it also makes SABECO have to increase costs due to the
increased salary fund.
Tax rate
Beer is a product subject to the State's special consumption tax. Due to such
characteristics, brewing companies are greatly affected by the change in tax policy of the
Government. And in 2023, Vietnam applies an excise tax on alcohol of 35-65%, beer 65%. The
Ministry of Finance currently stated that the tax on alcohol and beer in Vietnam is still low.
According to WHO, the new tax accounts for about 30% of the retail price of this item, while
in many countries the tax rate accounts for 40-85% of the retail price. Therefore, in order to
ensure that the use of alcohol and beer does not increase in the near future, it is necessary
to increase the excise tax on wine and beer to ensure that the increase in the price of alcohol
and beer after adjustment must keep up with the increase in income. and inflation. The new
tax rate will make it difficult for beer businesses like SABECO in production and business as
well as investment and development.

ECONOMICS
Exchange rate
In the past years, the foreign exchange rate has fluctuated and increased gradually.
For beer companies, the fluctuation in exchange rate strongly affects the production and
business results due to the number of beer companies. There are four main types of raw
materials for beer production, and three types of materials must be imported by brewing
companies. Exchange rate fluctuations will greatly affect the price of input materials and
affect the revenue and profit of companies in the industry.
Economic growth
Vietnam's economy experienced a strong rebound in 2022, with growth reaching 8.0
percent, exceeding its average rate of 7.1 percent from 2016 to 2019. Economic growth leads
to more spending by customers, thereby creating opportunities for SABECO to expand its
business activities and earn high profits.
SOCIAL
Beer is not a traditional product of our
country, but since it was introduced, it
has quickly been accepted by
Vietnamese people and has become a
popular habit, especially for men. The
lifestyle of each region also greatly
affects the demand for alcohol products.
In rural areas, people often have the
habit of using traditional alcohol, but
when income increases, the introduction
of urban culture gradually creates a
tendency to use beer.

SOCIAL
The General Statistics Office (Ministry of Planning and Investment) shows that in the
period 2014-2016, on average, each year in Vietnam, about 1.5 million people joined the
middle class, by the period 2017-2019, this number has increased to about 2.2 million. The
rising number of the middle class leads to a big change of buying behavior as people tend to
spend more money on high-priced products

Youth aged between 16 and 30 make up almost 25% of Vietnam's population, just over 23
million people. The majority of the youth population are in the labor force and act as a
driving force for the country's development.
About people under 18 years old, they still depend on their own savings or pocket money
that their parents give them, they want to compare with adult usage behavior, their buying
trend has begun to be established and the buying behavior is becoming more and more
stable and the scope of social influence gradually increased.
About young adults who are 18-30 years old, they start to have their own income. For
students, the income is still little, but for the young workforce, they already had an average
income. They have practical requirements for the products, easy to change their buying
tendency and they like to express themselves by being unique and characteristic.

TECHNOLOGICAL
Today's technology is increasingly developed and is an indispensable part of the
production and business process, in which the Saigon Beer - Alcohol - Beverage Corporation
is one of the enterprises with the production process self-contained, modern technology, the
most advanced automation equipment.
In order to maintain its position as well as the rapid development of Sabeco, the company
has made new progress in reforming the research and development system, especially, the
selection of raw materials to the finished product, which is managed by the management of
the company and strictly adhered to by a professional technical team consisting of
technology-equipment engineers, experienced Brewmasters.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The increasingly polluted environment requires the company to invest in modern
technological processes to treat waste in accordance with permissible standards, which will
increase the company's production costs.
The continuous flood situation in the central provinces has directly affected the production
activities of some factories in the SABECO system. In addition, the corporation is also facing
the risks of climate change and water salinization in the Mekong Delta. Since 2010, SABECO
has prepared many countermeasures against the various climate change scenarios such as:
All factories use BIOMASS boilers using fuels from plants (rice husks,
sawdust, leaves, etc.) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

LEGAL
As an enterprise operating in the form of a joint stock company and preparing to be
listed on the Saigon Stock Exchange, Sabeco's activities are influenced by legal documents
on joint stock companies and securities. and the stock market, including the Enterprise Law,
the Securities Law, the by-laws and these laws are kept being changed so it could affect the
company.
With the development trend of the region and the world, the state has promoted and
reformed the mechanisms. The requirements force the company to implement, although it
will be difficult at first, but inevitable. In the new trend, a business that wants to survive and
develop must always update regulations and requirements to create a unique position in the
domestic and international market foreign.
According to Advertising law, the regulations are strict because the law needs to prevent
people under 18 years old and pregnant women from using alcohol. The content of the
advertisement and outdoor advertising media are restricted a lot by the law. In addition,
advertising of alcohol and beer must have warnings to prevent and control harmful effects of
alcohol and beer.
Because of the rising number of traffic accidents, the government updates the Law
on Roadway traffic very often. According to Clause 8, Article 8 of the Law on Road Traffic
2008, stipulates: Operating a car, tractor, or special-use motorcycle on the road with an
alcohol concentration in blood or breath exceeding 50 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood.
or 0.25 milligrams/1 liter of breathing air is a violation of road traffic rules and will result in a
fine. These fines cost a lot of money for people who are using alcohol while driving.
11
MICRO ENVIRONMENT
SUPPLIERS
The majority of the materials Sabeco uses for production are sourced from reputable
domestic and international application suppliers. The following ingredients are used to make
beer: water, malt (malt), houblon flower, rice or other cereal, and brewer's yeast.
Additionally, the business imports packaging supplies like bottle caps, neck labels, body
labels, etc. The company looks for distributors who offer good products at fair prices.
According to the survey, Sabeco's distributors are generally praised for meeting all of the
requirements set forth by the business, from cost to product quality to delivery dates.
12
COMPETITORS
Market share
Competitors of Sabeco include
businesses like Heineken, Habeco,
Carlsberg, Sapporo, etc. Four major
companies continue to hold the
majority of the market in Vietnam:
Sabeco has a 33.9% market share,
Heineken has a 44.4% market share,
Habeco has a 7.4% market share, and
Carlsberg has an 8.7% market share.
However, thanks to Thai Beverage's
strong support, Sabeco's market
share has been sustained in recent VIETNAM BEER INDUSTRY MARKET SHARE 2021
years.
Price
At present, Sabeco is active in its primary market, the affordable market. Sabeco is
distinguishing itself from rivals in the same market category in every category, including
Brand, Production Scale, and Distribution System. In terms of pricing, Sabeco is also
outperforming its immediate rivals in the same market category when it comes to the mid-
range segment.

13
PUBLIC
Sabeco attaches great importance to building a brand image for its success. Sabeco's
media includes a variety of platforms such as newspapers, television, and mass media such
as Facebook and Youtube. At the same time, Sabeco also attaches great importance to the
development of the brand as a companion to the Vietnamese sports industry. The activities
have been carried out such as Organizing a 7-a-side football tournament, Sponsoring Tien
Phong Marathon, supporting SEAGAME 31, etc. The company can also present itself as a
social-oriented company such as sponsoring and supporting. support against Covid - 19,
support for the central region, and support for the poor.
In general, the company has been building a brand image in the eyes of
consumers as a community-oriented business

SWOT
STRENGTHS
High market share - 33,9%
In 2021, Sabeco ranked second among Vietnam's leading beer brewers based on market
share, accounting for more than 30%; which helped the company easily expand and develop
its business scale and increase revenue.
WEAKNESS
Dependence on imported main ingredients for beer manufacture
Sabeco has to import all important ingredients such as malt, houblon flower, and enzymes
from foreign countries. The company, therefore, will undergo disadvantages when the price
of imported raw materials increase.
The brewer has 26 factories throughout the country and the management process at each
plant for Sabeco is different in each region, leading to a lack of consistency and synchrony,
which can affect product’s quality.
1
15
Facing intense competition from rivals
In the North and Central region market, Sabeco primarily competes with Habeco (Bia Ha
Noi) and Carlsberg when they already had many loyal customers in these areas. For the
Southern area, which is the main market of Sabeco, the company has to deal with Heinekein
- the current leading brewer in the Vietnam beer industry.
OPPOTUNITIES
Vietnam is the world’s top beer consumer
Vietnam ranks 9th in the world in terms of beer consumption with more than 3.8 million
kiloliters in 2020, accounting for 2.2% of the total. And the beer market in Vietnam is
expected to be worth US$10.1 billion in 2025. Those above things imply potential
development in 2023 for Vietnam brewers, including Sabeco.
The food and beverage industry including beer and soft drinks showed signs
of growth again
The Covid-19 pandemic has been controlled since 2022, leading to a strong recovery of
food, entertainment, and tourism services; increasing the consumption of beverage
products in general and beer in particular.
Development of e-commerce
Consumers today form new shopping habits and are familiar with online shopping. This has
been to be a new land for brewer businesses to exploit and expand the distribution
channels, reducing dependence on traditional channels and satisfying customers’ needs.
THREATS
The tax rate on beer products probably can be raised in the near future
The Ministry of Finance has proposed to increase the special consumption tax for alcohol
products in order to limit imports, production, and consumption; impose disadvantage on
the development of the company’s business activities.
1
16
The government issued more strict regulations relevant to alcohol products
People now have more awareness, increasingly concerned about health and safety
issues, so they tend to use non-alcoholic products.
The US Federal Reserve (or US Fed) and many major central banks tighten monetary
policy and raise interest rates in 2022, and this can directly affect the cost of imported
raw materials for production and the profit of SABECO.

SEGMENTATION
Geographic Segmentation
Domestic market
Saigon Beer Company currently operates 33 branches and 26 factories with up-to-date
machinery and equipment throughout the nation.
Sabeco's market share (mostly Saigon beer) will account for 33.9% of the country in 2021,
trailing only Heineken (44.4%). Saigon beer, in particular, has a significant market share in
the South, Habeco focuses on the North market, whereas Carlsberg leads the Central
market due to the company's factory in Thua Thien Hue. Meanwhile, Heineken, which
formerly dominated the southern market with high-end sectors, has recently expanded
its distribution network to all provinces, focusing on major cities
Due to its extensive factory network, which gives it a competitive advantage, Saigon beer
today holds a substantial market share in the South, accounting for 40% of the total
market there. Additionally, Saigon Beer is currently focusing on the northern region to
compete with Habeco and grow its revenue relative to the entire nation.
Foreign markets
Saigon Beer has so far been exported to 30 different nations, including demanding markets
with a long history of beer like Belgium, Denmark, and France. Although this sector is
regarded as lucrative, there are numerous formidable rivals, which pose numerous threats.
Demographic Segmentation
According to MICS, Vietnam's population with age from 25 to 34 years old accounts for the
largest percentage, influenced by the trend of a "Westernizing" lifestyle, which is a potential
market for beer products.
Group 1 (From 15-22): Those who attend school have only recently begun drinking, so
they don't have too much demand for beer.
Group 2 (From 22 - 29): They are recent graduates who have just started working and
earning a steady salary
Group 3 (From 30-39): This is the period of social relationship establishment and solid
income, hence their frequency of drinking is higher.
1
18
Group 4 (From 40-49): This is the time for people to solidify their place in society and at
work. As their frequency of social interaction with guests rises, so does their drinking
frequency
Group 5 (From 50-59): The time range when drinking exchanges are most prevalent,
hence the frequency of drinking declines during this time
Group 6 (From 59 onwards): They start worrying more about their health and diseases,
therefore they begin to take better care of themselves and have less interest in
consuming beer.
Psychological Segmentation
Social Class and Status
The middle class is the primary target market for the beer industry because they
frequently need to drink beer for special occasions like getting together with friends,
business partners, or anniversaries.
According to Euromonitor International, between 2004 and 2018, beer consumption in
Vietnam increased by 284% as a result of the middle class and young population rise.
Life Style
Beer consumption is evolving into a more sophisticated and responsible behavior in modern
society. Customers often drink beers to unwind and enjoy. More specifically, in order to
make drinking easier prolong talks, or participate in other gatherings, the younger
generation frequently chooses beers with the proper alcohol concentration.
Behavioral Segmentation
Reasonable cost: Since the middle class with average incomes makes up the majority of
the beer market, the cost will be taken into account.
Familiar brands: A number of new beer brands have emerged in recent years, but not all
Vietnamese consumers are willing to try them because they prefer the flavor of well-
known and established beers.
Good quality: Even though the cost is fair, quality assurance is still a crucial need.
Besides, there are already a lot of dangerous beer shops, such as the ones on Ta Hien
Street in Hanoi where Bia Hoi places are selling leftover drinks from prior customers.
19
TARGETING
Saigon Beer determines its target market to be the middle class, with a demographic range of
22 to 49 years old due to the necessity for beer for numerous occasions, such as getting
together with friends, and business colleagues, at events or celebrations,... They reside in cities
and towns, which are highly inhabited locations with a diverse service network that includes
restaurants, entertainment venues, and shopping centers.
20
POSITIONING
Product Positioning
Customers can simply obtain and utilize them anywhere thanks to the wide variety of
products and beer varieties available in bottles and cans.
Additionally, the company has rigorously examined the quality of finished beer and beer
near the end of its shelf life regularly by the finished beer's Declaration of Conformity. The
swab test equipment was installed in companies in 2019 to improve food safety during
production.
Saigon Beer continuously updates its packaging, advertises in the media, and offers
discounts to customers to earn the trust of those who have purchased and consumed the
product. For example, Saigon Beer Special launched a promotion by popping the cap off a
bottle or can that includes a reward worth more than 75 billion VND in total.
Price Positioning
Since the prices of Saigon Beer's products range from low to high, it is simple for the
company to appeal to a wide range of social classes, especially the middle class.
Currently, Saigon beer products are priced on average or lower than those of competitors,
making them accessible to and usable by middle-class consumers, with the company's long-
term objective being to develop effectively and sustainably to strengthen the brand both
domestically and abroad.
21
CAMPAIGN STATEMENT
With the mission of "Improving the quality of life through the provision of high quality, safe
and nutritious beverage products" and a vision to 2025 to become "Vietnam's leading
beverage industry group, has a regional and international position.”, SABECO has
constantly been improving the quality and diversifying products to satisfy the expectations
of consumers.
In today's developed society, people - especially young people are always busy with work,
study, and the endless cycle of life. They have less time to interact and socialize with family
and friends. They easily become stressed, sensitive and gradually lose connection with the
people around them. Aware of that, the SABECO beer brand wishes, together with its beer
products, to bring young people moments of connection and closeness with family and
friends.
The SABECO brand has built the very first steps in expanding the target market, as not just a
beer brand focusing on the 29-49 age segment, businessmen, officials, and civil servants
who often have relationships and receive guests, but also a dynamic, youthful beer brand for
young people aged 18-26. Typically, the launch of a new identity for the Saigon beer brand is
the first step in Sabeco's long-term brand strategy and market expansion. The brand identity
is prominently designed, and attractive, with a youthful style but still retains the original
taste, quality, and recipe. The new design of the brewery represents the spirit of constantly
overcoming challenges, youthfulness, dynamism and progress of Vietnamese young people.
This activity has contributed to strengthening the connection between the SABECO brand,
specifically Saigon Beer, with the young generation and continued the journey of developing
the brand to become the pride of Vietnam.
The campaign we launch this summertime will be considered as the next important step in
expanding the target market for the SABECO brand, becoming a strong link connecting the
brand with the target audience of Gen Z people aged 18-26, contributing to conveying the
message of aspiration to improve the quality of life for the young generation of Vietnam.

PRICES
Pricing Approaches
SABECO's marketing goal is to lead the market share, so they set medium and low prices,
suitable for the income of Vietnamese people. In fact, SABECO sets prices by combining 3
valuation methods
Cost-based pricing: The types of raw materials for beer production often fluctuate due to
imports such as Malt imported from Australia, Denmark, France, or Houblon flowers
imported from Denmark. Therefore, fluctuations in the supply and demand of these raw
materials on the world market and changes in exchange rates can greatly affect the price of
raw materials and the cost of products. The company always tries to price its products at a
price that ensures high production and distribution costs.
27
Value-based pricing: SABECO's beer products focus on the health benefits of customers
first, in addition to the high quality factor that the company highlights. Bottle/can design
and product packaging are also focused to improve. Thus, it also determines the price on
values it brings to customers.
Competition-based pricing: SABECO's top competitor is Heineken beer, which is the world's
leading beer brand and has a foothold in the Vietnamese market. Therefore, in order for its
products to compete with this company, SABECO must set a reasonable selling price. And
in fact, the selling price of SABECO's products is lower than that of Heineken. The company
intends to maintain prices to ensure a competitive advantage. In addition, the company
also intends to adjust the price policy at certain times to be more suitable.
Price Strategies:
Competitive-pricing strategy: SABECO sets medium and low prices suitable for the majority
of Vietnamese people's incomes, and ensures the competitive advantage.
Discount-pricing strategy: SABECO will adjust its prices for customers who pay ahead of
time and buy in bulk. Cash discount is a discount for customers who buy and pay in full
immediately. Quantity discounts are discounts for customers who buy products in bulk.
Product line pricing strategy: SABECO often produces many types of beer products and
items, not a single thing. They differ in brand, form, size, features... so they are priced at
different scales.
PLACE
Traditional channel
Currently, SABECO's product lines are present at more than 100,000 points of sale spread
across the country. The company also contributed capital to establish 10 regional trading
companies at key locations and has a network of 39 branches and warehouses in many
different locations. It can be seen that SABECO is always cautious in conquering and
dominating the market to maintain its No. 1 position in terms of domestic beer market share.
Along with the growth of the group, Sabeco has boosted exports to new markets. Up to now,
Sabeco has set foot in more than 30 countries on 5 continents around the world.
Modern channel
SABECO also puts its products in supermarkets and convenience stores such as Mega Market,
BigC, Vinmart, Circle K,... However, trading activities on e-commerce platforms is not SABECO's
strength. In detail, it does not genuinely distribute beer products on popular platforms such as
Lazada or Shopee.
Channel Organization
SABECO's distribution channel system is organized according to the Conventional Marketing
Channel (CMC). With the warehouse system in many different locations in the country,
SABECO's products are brought to consumers through agents and retailers across the country
such as restaurant systems, eateries,…
