Two statistics you can depend on in China today, is the growth of the overall economy and the increase in consumption of beverages in the world’s largest domestic economy. Forecasts for 2011 record that GDP will continue to exceed 8%. While consumption of beer by 2015 is forecast to reach 573 million-hectare litres, source Canadean “Global Beer Trends”. More than twice the size of the USA market, the world’s second largest market. Beverage consumption ranging from fruit juices to water and tea to carbonated drinks, valued at US$ 45 billion is equally impressive. For manufacturers and supplies of beverage, beer and liquid technology this is a market they cannot afford to miss.
