Leading the domestic beer market by a wide margin
Anadolu Efes is the largest brewer in Turkey. It conducts its operations with four breweries, two malteries, and one hops processing facility. Total annual production capacity in Turkey consists of 9.5 million hectoliters of beer and 118 thousand tons of malt. In 2015, Anadolu Efes maintained its leadership position in Turkey with a 68% share in terms of sales volume.
Total beer consumption in Turkey in 2015 is estimated to be around 9.1 million hectoliters, with average per-capita consumption of about 12 liters. In 2015, the market is forecasted to have declined at around 1.0-1.5% year-on-year in which beer sales were depressed mainly due to declines in both consumer confidence and tourism activities attributable to the challenging economic and political conditions that affected the country during the year.
Excise tax rates on beer in Turkey are higher than most countries and, when consumer purchasing power is taken into account as well, it is the highest rate of all in the world. As in the past, higher taxes will inevitably be one of the most important factors determining the course of the sector’s performance in the future.
In 2015, the excise tax on beer in Turkey has increased two times; by 10.4% in January and by 4.7% in July. While the first excise tax increase was higher than the rate of inflation of the previous six months, the second one was more or less in line with expectations.
Thus for Anadolu Efes’ Turkish beer operations, 2015 was a challenging year indeed for such reasons as stiff competition, declines in tourist arrivals from countries where beer-consumption levels are relatively high, and depressed consumer confidence especially in the third and the early fourth quarter before the elections. Price increases also adversely affected the beer market’s performance by reducing affordability. As a result, total sales volume of Turkey beer operations was realized as 6.6 mhl, down 6.3% compared to 2014 in line with our guidance.
Weaker performance than the market was mainly driven by lower on-trade volumes, especially in touristic regions where Anadolu Efes has a stronger position; due to lower tourism activity overall.
