Weekly report of food and beverage industry: the boom continues and continues to be optimistic about the high-end trend of alcohol

Summary of strategic meeting Views:

1, the Baijiu industry: the boom will continue, high-end and secondary high-end will continue to expand, focusing on the long-term impact of sauce wine variables. 1) The prosperity of the industry remains unchanged, and the upgrading of consumption promotes the structural growth of the industry to the price belt of secondary high-end and above. Moutai price opens the price space for the industry, consumption upgrading has become the leading factor in the growth of Baijiu industry. 2) The high-end price belt expanded rapidly after the epidemic, and Maotai 1935 is expected to become a large increment of the 1000 yuan price belt in the future. Maotai 1935 is expected that the price will stabilize at about 1000 yuan, and its share in the 1000 yuan price band may gradually increase with the release of volume. 3) The volume and price of the sub high-end price segment will continue to increase, and sauce and wine may become an important variable affecting the pattern of the sub high-end industry. Sauce wine has experienced the hot sauce wine in the past two years. We believe that the hot sauce wine competition will enter a more rational second half, the status of brand sauce wine will be more consolidated, and brand sauce wine will increase the competition in the sub high-end price segment, which will become an important influencing variable of pattern change.

Reiterated: high-end Baijiu certainty priority + positive embrace secondary high-end flexibility.

In 2021q4, affected by the epidemic and the rise of raw material costs, industrial sales and profits continue to be under pressure. 1) Looking forward to 2022, the simultaneous rise of volume and price of mainstream liquor enterprises has a foundation. The demand for beer during the Spring Festival is still relatively strong, the sales volume is expected to continue to increase year-on-year in the follow-up peak season, and the price increase of beer products continues to be transmitted to the terminal. 2) The high-end logic of the industry continues to be deduced, and the profit improvement of leading liquor enterprises in 2022 is highly uncertain. Many places and enterprises in China have formed a good epidemic feedback and emergency response mechanism, the consumption potential of residents’ mass goods is still strong, and the consumer demand has recovered and the scene has warmed up; With the pressure margin of subsequent upstream costs falling, coupled with strong demand and price increase, the performance of leading companies is expected to usher in greater flexibility.
