Beer & Cider in India

Industry Profiles

6. Five Forces Analysis


The beer & cider market will be analyzed taking manufacturers of soft drinks as players. The key buyers will be
taken as distributors and retailers of soft drinks, and producers of packaging, soft drinks ingredients and other raw
materials as the key suppliers.

6.1. Summary

Figure 8: Forces driving competition in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

High fixed costs and a highly consolidated market work to drive up rivalry, although strong market growth during the
review period (2016–2021) has served to alleviate this somewhat.
Specialist beverage retailer are the main distribution channel in the Indian beer & cider market. EDA (Eating, Drinking
and Accommodation) is also significant. Buyer power in this market is driven up by low switching costs and the large
size of many buyers, but tempered by buyers' need to stock a wide variety of beers in order to remain competitive.
Many suppliers in this market, particularly hop growers, are small and numerous, limiting their ability to influence
market players. Larger breweries are usually also capable of some degree of vertical integration, weakening suppliers'
positions further. Raw materials are important to this industry though, and not all suppliers depend on the beer
industry primarily; both of these factors strengthen supplier power.
For new entrants, the heavy investment required in production capacity constitutes one barrier and government
regulation another. Higher-end beers can command higher prices, however, which can allow smaller players an initial
foothold in the market as a microbrewery.
Switching costs in this market are fairly low which increases the risk of substitutes, and alternatives such as wines or
spirits are often cheaper and easier to store and transport. On the other hand, most buyers will need to stock a range of
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, making it difficult to forego beer completely.

6.2. Buyer power

Figure 9: Drivers of buyer power in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

Specialist beverage retailer are the major buyers in the Indian beer & cider market, accounting for 82.52% of sales in
2021. Notably, EDA (Eating, Drinking and Accommodation) and institutions are together accounted for 17.40% of sales
in 2021. Such buyers are sometimes able to negotiate favorable terms on price with beer producers; this increases
buyer power significantly.
Switching costs for buyers are low, which increases buyer power in all markets.
Beer & cider producers can differentiate their products quite strongly in a variety of ways, not only by the overall
segment such as, lager or bitter but also by brand, strength, ingredients, and style, among other options.
Major buyers generally need to offer a wide range of beers to accommodate consumer preferences. This undermines
buyer power. Furthermore, producers and retailers operate in distinct businesses, with very little likelihood of forward
or backward integration. Overall, buyer power is assessed as moderate.

Industry Profiles

6.3. Supplier power

Figure 10: Drivers of supplier power in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

The main inputs for cider producers are apples and the quality of cider depends on the grade of the apples from which
it is made. Apples are ground to a fine pulp and are put into steel drums with plastic liners. While some of these apples
continue to be used through the cider making process, the remaining apples are sent to a freezer to be used later. This
ensures that cider can be produced all throughout the year even when apple supplies are not adequate. The main
inputs for beer producers are malted grain, hops and bottles or barrels. Traditionally, beer makers operated non-
vertically integrated businesses: buying hops from independent producers along with either barley from farmers for
processing at the brewery’s own malting house, or malted barley from third-party producers. Beer would then be
packaged on-site. However, the scale of the dominant multinational players in the market means that some breweries
now incorporate some degree of vertical integration, weakening supplier power. Independent hop growers are
numerous, and include some fairly small operations, which further weakens supplier power. Independent barley
growers can find alternative markets, reducing their dependency on the beer & cider market such as barley which can
be sold for animal feed and malted barley for distillation in the production of spirits, and it is also possible to integrate
forward into beer-making. These factors augment supplier power. Raw material quality is highly important in this
business: the end product is strongly influenced by the nature of the ingredients used. Overall, there is a moderate
degree of supplier power.

Beer & Cider in India

Industry Profiles

6.4. New entrants

Figure 11: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

Large multinational players such as United Breweries Limited, A-BlnBev and Carlsberg Group dominated the market.
The leading players wield significant power and benefit from scale economies, strong brands, and a diverse range of
products. Private labels also greatly influence the environment.
Large investment in production equipment is required before entry in to this market, but this can be recovered by
adding a good margin to the price of the end-product. Since high quality beers can command premium prices, it is
possible to enter the market on a small scale, as a 'microbrewery'.
Larger companies, however, tend to rely on the mass-market production of internationally palatable lagers; here,
margins may be much lower.
Producers need to distribute their products widely, so often depend heavily upon retail channels such as supermarkets.
Despite the presence of company-owned on-trade outlets, these retail chains often have considerable buyer power,
which can force down the prices that beer producers are able to obtain. In such a market, economies of scale become
much more important. As a result, barriers to entry, such as the capital outlay on large scale production equipment, and
the need to establish reliable supply chains from multiple third-party hop and barley growers, become much higher as
players approach the mass market.
New entrants will find it difficult to compete with major players because of the large scale of the multi-national
incumbents. Moreover, government regulation of alcoholic beverages is stringent. Excise tax is imposed on all alcoholic
beverages. Minimum age for purchase is regulated at the state level. There are restrictions on times and locations
where alcohol can be sold. Most marketing methods, including advertising, product placement, and event sponsorship,
are legally regulated. While there is no national alcohol policy, the central government does offer support for
community actions.
With strong growth during the review period (2016-2021), the possibility of new entrants is increased to an extent.
Overall, there is a moderate threat of new entrants.

Beer & Cider in India

Industry Profiles

6.5. Threat of substitutes

Figure 12: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

The main substitutes for beer & cider are other alcoholic beverages such as spirits and wine, and in some cases non-
alcoholic beverages such as functional drinks. Switching costs are not high, and per-unit-volume prices are higher for
beer than for spirits or wine, for both consumers and distributers.
The potential benefits and drawbacks of alternatives to beer are rather difficult to pin down. Most retailers and
distributors will find they need to stock a combination of beer and its potential substitutes in order to please the widest
possible range of customers, but some restaurants for example can feel as though their wines make up a much more
important part of their menu. Conversely, for many pubs, beer is indispensable, while wines and spirits seem of
secondary importance. On a practical level, alternatives such as wines and spirits can be more attractive: beer is
comparatively heavy, bulky, and might need refrigerating before sale. This drives up distribution and storage costs.
Overall, there is a moderate threat from substitutes.

Industry Profiles

6.6. Degree of rivalry

Figure 13: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the beer & cider market in India, 2021

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

The beer & cider market in India is consolidated, with the top four leading players, United Breweries Ltd, India, A-
BInBev, Carlsberg Group, and B9 Beverages Pvt Ltd, controlling 88.11% of the market volume in 2021. Notably, United
Breweries Ltd, India accounted for 51.04% of the total market volume in 2021.
Some large beer and cider producers have begun to employ brand management strategies in order to ensure their
brand is identifiable to the public. This is especially important because purchasers have a wide variety of beers to
choose from, and incur only low switching costs when changing brands. These factors tend to intensify rivalry.
Major players may offer premium beers, but much of their business involves mass-market products. This implies high
fixed costs, because of the need to operate large beer making plants. At the same time, the prices that can be obtained
for these products may be forced down by large retail chains.
Strong market growth during the review period helps to alleviate the competition. Overall, rivalry is assessed as
moderate.
