Challenges  •  Wine  is  less  than  5%  of  total  alcohol  consump6on,  hence  very  low  per  capita  consump6on  -­‐  about  1  litre  per  annum  (Qing  and  Hu  2015)  

•  Low  brand  awareness  for  foreign  wines  and  price-­‐sensi6ve    consumers  outside  major  ci6es  

•  High  concentra6on  in  top  11  ci6es  -­‐  76%  of  imported  wine  sales  and  60%  of  domes6c  wine  sales  by  volume  (Bouzdine-­‐Chameeva  and  Zhang  2012)    

•  Wine  distribu6on  dominated  by  big  wholesalers,  hotels,  restaurants  and  bars  (80%)  although  retail  sector  and  online  players  are  also  growing  

Page 21: Great&Wall&or&Red&Carpet?&& ChallengesandOpportuniesfor ... · 3 Global&Wine&Market&&&China& • Globaltradeinwinehasdoubledinlast15years – 25&billion&euros&with&40%of&all&wine&now&exported&up&

21

Challenges  •  Highly  seasonal  demand  -­‐  about  60%  of  the  sales  during  the  two  main  holidays  (Chinese  New  Year  and  Mid-­‐Autumn  Fes6val),  mostly  for  giking  which  is  an  integral  part  of  Chinese  culture  

•  Wine  is  s6ll  mainly  an  aspira6onal  drink  to  be  consumed  on  special  occasions  rather  than  an  integral  part  of  everyday  dining  experience  

•  Despite  high  country-­‐of-­‐origin  recall  (66%),  Australian  wines  s6ll  have  very  low  penetra6on  (4%)  and  repeat  demand  (16%)  (Cohen,  Corsi  and  Lockshin  2015)  

•  Lack  of  awareness  and  popularity  of  Wine  tourism  

Page 22: Great&Wall&or&Red&Carpet?&& ChallengesandOpportuniesfor ... · 3 Global&Wine&Market&&&China& • Globaltradeinwinehasdoubledinlast15years – 25&billion&euros&with&40%of&all&wine&now&exported&up&

22

Opportuni6es  •  High  poten6al  for  growth  in  demand  

–  Increase  in  per  capita  consump6on  

–  Switch  from  other  alcoholic  drinks  

– Market  expansion  to  Tier  2  ci6es  and  upcountry  towns  

•  Dis6nct  value  segments  in  the  wine  market  –  Brand-­‐conscious  premium  segment  in  major  ci6es  

–  Price-­‐sensi6ve  mass  segment  outside  the  major  ci6es  

•  Growing  importance  of  offline  and  online  retailers  –  Scope  to  expand  distribu6on  reach  in  mass  segment  

•  High  country-­‐of-­‐origin  recall  for  Australian  wines  –  Posi6ve  image  in  terms  of  quality  and  flavour

Way  Forward  •  Con6nue  trade  educa6on  by  par6cipa6ng  in  trade  events,  trade  journals  and  promo6ons.  

•  Increase  penetra6on  in  retail  and  online  channels  to  reach  Tier  2  ci6es  and  upcountry  markets  

•  Promote  Australian  wine  at  Airports  &  Duty-­‐free  Shops  

•  Leverage  weaker  Australian  Dollar  to  boost  exports  •  Leverage  China  Australia  Free  Trade  Agreement  (ChAFTA)  with  tariffs  eliminated  over  four  years  

•  Reposi6on  Australian  wine  as  “Fun”  and  “Good  Time”  to  dominate  the  mass  segment  as  Chinese  consumers  move  towards  less  formal  wine  consump6on

Final  Words…  •  Product  Development  

– Match  Australian  Wine  with  Chinese  food  flavours  from  different  regions  of  China  and  other  parts  of  Asia  

•  Market  Development  –  Do  not  forget  your  local  Australian  tourists;  they  are  likely  to  visit  more  than  once  and  could  give  repeat  business  

–  Bridge  cultural  gap  with  Chinese  tourists  –  hire  local  Chinese  staff  (e.g.  students),  offer  Tea,  Red  Packets,  Chinese  snacks  

–  Look  beyond  East  coast;  seek  strategic  alliances  with  regional  tourism  des6na6ons  e.g.  Indonesia,  Singapore,  Thailand  etc.  

–  Leverage  the  huge  Chinese  domes6c  wine  business  –  invest  in  local  wineries,  distribu6on  channels,  brands  etc.
