How a Japanese population crisis made Asahi one of Europe's biggest beer makers
Briefly

Asahi has achieved remarkable success by strategically entering the European beer market and acquiring local favorites, positioning itself as a dominant player in the region.
Atsushi Katsuki highlights the gravity of Japan's aging population as a critical driver behind Asahi's aggressive expansion into Europe, aiming to offset declining sales domestically.
The revenue projection of €4.7 billion from Europe in 2024 signifies Asahi's successful transition into a key international market, now representing 27% of its sales.
Katsuki stresses that the decline in Japan's beer market, shrinking annually since 1995, underscores the necessity for Asahi to seek sustainable growth beyond its borders.
