Food And Beverage Investors Continue To Look To Thailand
DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/16d476/thailand_food_and) has announced the addition of the "Thailand Food and Drink Report Q3 2008" report to their offering. The Thailand Food Drink Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Thailand's food and drink industry. Food and beverage investors continue to look to Thailand, both as a consequence of the perceived strength of the market itself, and due to its growing status as a hub for production and export throughout South East Asia - its vast agricultural output accounting for the latter to some degree. The bulk of investment that has occurred in the last three months has focused on added-value food and beverage production, and in our newly published Thailand Food & Drink Report for Q308, BMI examines why the premium sector has proved so attractive to investors when the Thai market remains fairly price sensitive. These investments have been prevalent in both the food and beverage industries. June saw local conglomerate Berli Jucker Plc acquire Malaysian snack food firm Jacy Foods Sdn for US$5.4mn in a bid to expand its footprint in the high-growth, regional convenience snack food market. Similarly that month, leading alcoholic drinks major ThaiBev unveiled its first ever premium beer brand, Federbrauin. The premium launch followed ThaiBev's June acquisition of Japanese-style restaurant operator and snack food producer Oishi Group and early 2008's purchase of ready-to-drink coffee manufacturer Wrangyer - themselves both acquisitions in higher value product areas.
