Anheuser Busch Inbev SA Research Reports
On August 6, 2014, a Reuters release reported that Anheuser Busch Inbev SA (AB InBev) is creating a new business unit in the U.S., which will focus on strengthening the Company's position in the premium beers segment. According to the report, the move has come on the backdrop of declining sales of traditional beers amid shift in demand towards more upmarket, more flavourful drinks such as ales, stouts and wheat beers. Citing the data released by Brewers Association trade group, Reuters reported that the U.S. beer market shrank 1.9% in 2013 to 196.2 million barrels, while "craft" beers market rose 17.2%. Reuters further added that the Company's new unit will make brands such as Goose Island and Blue Point and will be based in Chicago to get in closer touch with the urban customers. The new unit will be led by Felipe Szpigel and will have a dedicated marketing and sales staff, said Reuters. The full research reports on AB InBev are available to download free of charge at:
