Mission
“During production of the Budweiser Budvar lager we use traditional procedures and the knowledge passed down to us by previous generations of brewers. We produce our beer exclusively from the highest quality raw materials – whole heads of Žatec hop, selected Moravian malt and virgin clear water from our Artesian wells. Due to the unavoidable delicious flavour, unique composition and care in production, our lager is searched for by lovers of high quality beer in all continents.”
12
Goals/Objectives
• The success of our company depends on more than just producing great products for adult beer drinkers and delivering outstanding services to our customers.
• Success depends on the dedicated people who come together every day and work with a sense of purpose and pride in being the best.
13
Goals and Objectives
• Pride means we select only the finest ingredients to brew and package the highest-quality beers in our 12 breweries located throughout the United States.
• Our pride also drives our industry-leading role in promoting alcohol responsibility, protecting and preserving the environment and making a difference in the communities where we live and work. After all, this is our world, and it’s our collective responsibility to care for it
14
Internal Company Trends
• The top-ranking US beer company in total volume terms, with a 70.1% share of sales.
• The company’s Bud Light and Budweiser brands are the best-selling light and regular lager beers in the US.
15
Reported Revenue 2008-2010
• While still the leader in the US, Anheuser-Busch InBev’s volume sales have been declining since 2009 due to the recent US recession.
16
• The company has launched a multitude of innovative products, but its most successful launches have been better-executed versions of competitors’ ideas.
• Although Miller Brewing Co created the light beer category, the release of Bud Light in 1982 by Anheuser-Busch dominated it.
• In 2008, the company’s release of Bud Light Lime was significantly more successful than an earlier launch, Miller Chill.
• In 2010, the company launched its version of a lower-calorie light beer, Bud Select 55, following
its rival’s launch of MGD64.
Internal Company Trends
17
Internal Company Trends
• Strategic direction:Four Focus Areas:
1. Focus on growing its leading Bud Light brand through its new partnership with the National Football League. 2. Seek to stabilize the yearly decline of Budweiser. 3. Focus on growing its share in the premium segment. 4. Look to decrease costs by increasing its efficiency and implementing cost-cutting management procedures.
18
Strengths Weaknesses
• Financial Status• Distribution Channels• Good marketing• Brand name recognition• Highly recognized reputation
• High reliance of the US market• Wholesalers and retailers do not sell
the product properly• Increase of cost of production results in
low profit margin. Rising prices of barley and wheat.
• Debt
Opportunities Threats
• The international market is four times the size of the U.S. market.
• New alliances by becoming the U.S. beer importer of a number of inBev’s premium European brands such as Beck’s, Bass Pale Ale.
• Local companies already established within every international market.• High industry competition. In 2001 the
company experienced decrease in market share due to Miller’s discounted marketing approach.• New regulatory forces can limit sales
volume• Anti-alcohol campaigns can have
negative effect on overall sales
19
Strengths• Anheuser-Busch controls 70.1% of the domestic beer
market. • Have devised an incentive plan for their wholesalers that
reward them for selling only Anheuser-Busch products. This plan focuses the wholesaler on selling one product group.
• Anheuser’s manufacturing plants are the most technologically advanced in the industry.
• This has reduced cost by around $300 million per year. It has also increased the output of each facility.
• Anheuser has an advantage because of their name. Budweiser is one of the most valuable trademarks in the world today. This is due to the large number of promotions
they have each year.
20
Weaknesses
• Budweiser focuses on brand positioning and massive distribution, however even though they offer great incentive programs for their wholesalers, they may not have the proper direction to sell the product efficiently. If the wholesaler is not promoting, sales in the area will be hurt.
• It needs to reduce its reliance on the US market. It has tried to build a worldwide brand by marketing campaigns, such as plastering the Budweiser logo on stadium walls at the FIFA World Cup, and through local partnerships.
21
Opportunities• The international market is four times the size of the
U.S. market. U.S. only consumes 25% of the world’s beer volume.
• With a bigger market it will also give Anheuser a chance to experiment with different product lines that may appeal to different market segments.
• Less restriction on trade making it easier to import products into a country
• Creating new alliances with other large beer distributors such as inBev’s and Hansen Natural Corp.
22
Threats• Even with Anheuser’s size Budweiser will still
have threats when entering new markets. • Will have to compete against the existing
companies that have already established themselves in the market.
• Competing in another country can be very expensive Extra costs involved with oversees distribution or production.
23
Beer Industry Trends: Australia• Total beer volumes in
Australia decline by 4% in 2011 to reach 1.7 billion litres
• Two major players accounted for 89% of volume sales in 2011
• Citing health and wellness concerns, some beer
drinkers substituted a portion of their beer intake with wine, due to its
healthier image amongst
consumers.
24
Beer Industry Trends: Australia
• Growth in craft beer in Australia has been a consequence of consumers seeking beers with more complex flavor profiles.
• Beer volume sales dropped by 4% in 2011 to 1.7 billion liters. – Fall attributed to: interest rate increases and cooler
weather. Also to ongoing “premiumisation”, increasingly attractive spirits/RTD propositions and health and wellness trends, all of which saw drinkers consume less product.
