Regal Life provide research on China Wine Market
By 2009-2-12 13:29:06
Regal Life Concepts, Inc. (OTCBB: RGLC), seeking to capitalize on the rapidly expanding China wine import and distribution market, invites investors to review a newly available market research report outlining the tremendous growth opportunity within China.
Through its recently announced strategic investment in China-based Guangzhou Awa Wine Co. Ltd. ("AWA Wine"), Regal Life has established a presence in this growth market with the goal of further rapid expansion.
A recently published industry overview study, by fee-based equities analyst Patrick Murphy CFA, provided independent research on the China wine import and distribution market. Highlights in the report include the following:
-- Wealth Creation Drives Demand for Higher End Goods: Imported wine is a
status symbol that increasingly is both desirable and affordable for the
growing Chinese middle and upper classes.
-- The Bull Market for Wine Imported to China Began over a Decade Ago:
Wine imports have grown 57 times since 1995, a compound annual growth rate
of 130%.
-- Other Wine Exporters Recognize the China Opportunity
-- China's Growing Interest in Wine Clubs and Wine Tasting Events: As
Chinese knowledge of wine is heightened, the [Chinese market] opportunity
is tremendous as the demand elasticity of wine is two times income
elasticity.
The AWA Wine network is currently comprised of 16 corporate-owned and franchised locations throughout China that is servicing a strong and growing membership base of over 50,000. The newly established Regal Life-AWA Wine joint venture will lead to the opening of additional corporate-owned AWA Wine locations in China and the development of an improved IT infrastructure to enhance backend administration, sales and logistics support. AWA anticipates that, with the proper funding, it will expand its network to 100 AWA Wine Club locations and 1 million active AWA Wine Club members by 2013.
Eric Wildstein, President of Regal Life, commented, "We are pleased with this China wine market overview report as it confirms our own due diligence research leading to our recently announced investment in AWA Wine. As Patrick Murphy CFA points out in the report; imported wine is a status symbol that increasingly is both desirable and affordable for the growing Chinese middle and upper classes. This trend is evidenced clearly by data from the Chinese Customs Service, which reports that wine imports have grown 57 times since 1995, a compound annual growth rate of 130%."
China Wine Marketplace
The wine market capacity in China shows significant potential. During January to July 2008, China yielded 507,000 tons of wine, an accumulated growth rate of 66%. According to the Global Wine Statistical Compendium, with current annual Chinese consumption of wine at only about a half-liter per capita compared to the current world average of 3.5 liters per capita per year, there is huge potential market growth for the imported wine industry in China. With improvement in the supervision and regulatory climate for the imported wine industry, together with the maturity of consumption of domestic wine products, market competition appears to be intensifying and foreign wine products appear to be strengthening their competitiveness in the Chinese market.
