Kirin climbs to the top

AFTER A gap of nine years, Kirin Brewery – owner of Lion Nathan – has  regained the top spot in the Japanese beer market for 2009 based onvolume sales and market share.

The company says it ended the year with a 37.7% market share, but its volumes fell by 0.9%.

It overtook Asahi Breweries, whose market share dipped to 37.7% after  volumes fell by 2.8%. In third place is Suntory – owner of Frucor Beverages – with a market share of 12.3%

The word is that Kirin is interested in acquiring Suntory but unfortunately,  talks have broken down.

If the two companies did merge, it would put Lion Nathan in the same group as  Frucor Beverages.
