Wine Production in China industry analysis

Revenue for the Wine Production industry in China steadily increased pre-2013 alongside economic prosperity, rising household income and the gradual popularization of wine culture. These trends have helped enrich consumers' wine knowledge, stimulating wine consumption. In addition, the government has encouraged consumption of beverages with lower alcohol content, like wine. Since 2013, industry revenue has trended downward due to low industry output resulting from insufficient vineyards and Chinese consumers' drinking preference for Chinese alcohol. In 2024, industry revenue is set to decrease 6.8%, to $1.3 billion. Industry revenue is expected to fall an annualized 11.7% over the five years through 2024, due to declining demand from domestic and international markets, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the industry's low output and productivity.
Profit has been declining from 2017 due to rising production costs and declining product sales. In 2024, the profit is expected to account for 2.2% of the industry revenue.
Industry enterprise numbers are anticipated to decrease. As more local companies extend their presence in the mid- to high-end wine market, foreign-funded enterprises' competitive advantages have diminished. Foreign winemakers account for around 15% of industry enterprises in the current year.
China's consumer purchasing power is anticipated to increase steadily over the next five years, and domestic demand growth for wine is expected to be slow. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% over the five years through 2029, to $1.5 billion. However, a wine grape shortage is anticipated to become a serious issue for the industry, as China has only nine major wine grape production bases. To alleviate this problem, large enterprises will likely continue developing their own vineyards and introducing better grape varieties.
