Abstract

The food processing industry has a low concentration, poultry eggs, pork, beef & mutton and fruit, with many small companies. This is due to the fact that the products have a low added-value and a low barrier to entry.

Moreover, China’s instant food market shows a monopolistic competition. In the past limited to soda water, the beverage market has now developed to various categories such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices and vegetable juice drinks, etc.

In 2005, food expenditure has accounted for 42% of the national household consumption; when looking at the food structure, self-support food expenditure gradually decreased, but demand rose for fresh industrialized products such as convenient food, green food and nutrients food, etc.

As for investments, there will be more investment opportunities in beverage manufacturing (mainly in wine and liquor manufacturing) than in food procession and food production in 2006. More attention should be paid to the enterprises with influential brands and to opportunities in niche markets. 

The report is divided into six parts. The first part gives an analysis on the overall development of the global food & beverage. It also describes the current situation, production, distribution and consumption patterns of Chinese food & beverage industry.
