新世纪中国啤酒工业发展展望

中国是世界啤酒第二大国，由于啤酒企业重组，大集团垄断地位加强，这些集团的产量已占全国总量的55．8％，预计到2010年，中国啤酒企业将从500多家降至不到100家，有10余家大集团垄断中国啤酒产量的80％。当前，啤酒企业应以开发纯生啤酒为契机，迎来新一轮装备、管理、技术的改造和发展，使企业素质达到现代化标准。啤酒是世界性饮料，啤酒饮料化是当前啤酒风格发展的大趋势，这是新世纪啤酒发展的一个特点。在新世纪，要以质量竞争为首要竞争，并且，应加速发展啤酒大麦，加强麦芽厂大型化，推广使用国产大麦。（丹妮）

Prospective Study on the Development of Beer Industry in China in the New Century

China took the second place in beer output in the world. Currently, the reorganization of breweries was favorable to further monopolization of big breweries, the annual beer output in these big breweries had shared 55.8 % of the total national beer output, and it was predicted that by year 2010 the breweries quantity in China would reduce from more than 500 enterprises to less than 100 enterprises with 80 % beer output produced by just more than ten big breweries. Accordingly, with the development of pure draft beer as a turning point, breweries should actively participate in technical innovation and introduction of new facilities and management so that the overall capabilities of the breweries could achieve modern standards. Besides, as a worldwide beverage, the development of beer styles tends to be more beverage alike, which becomes an evident characteristic for beer industry in the new century. Quality still stands the top place in the competition and the priorities should also be given to rapid development of beer barley and macro-scale manufacture of malthouse and wider application of Chinese barley in the new century.
