Competitive landscape
The beer market in the Czech Republic is consolidated, with the top three players controlling the majority stake of the market. Some large beer producers have begun to employ brand management strategies in order to ensure their brand is identifiable to the public. This is especially important because purchasers have a wide variety of beers to choose from and incur only low switching costs when changing brands. Major players may offer premium beers, but much of their business involves mass-market products; this means large breweries are required, and therefore that players in this market endure high fixed costs. At the same time, beer prices are subject to heavy downward pressure by large chain retailers, which are often able to exert strong bargaining power.
Market distribution
On-trade forms the leading distribution channel in the Czech beer market.
