The sales results of the four major beer companies in April have been put together, and sales of beer, including those for commercial use, have dropped significantly due to the closure of restaurants, while sales of home-use chuhai and other products have grown significantly.
According to the four major beer companies, the sales volume of beer in April decreased by 62% for Suntory, 49% for Kirin, 44% for Sapporo, and Asahi as a major brand compared to the same month last year. It has been reduced by 52% due to Super Dry.
On the other hand, last month's sales volume and sales such as Chu Hai were 22% for Kirin, 18% for Suntory, 6% for Sapporo, 4% for Asahi, the same as the previous year. In addition to surpassing the month, sales of the “third beer”, which is relatively cheap, were also strong.
Regarding this, while the spread of the new coronavirus spread the closure of restaurants and shortening of working hours due to the spread of new coronavirus, while sales of beer mainly for commercial use fell, on the other hand, the number of people drinking at home and refusing to go out increased It is because sales of low priced Chuhai and third beer increased due to heightened defense awareness.
