“In the first quarter of 2025, despite increasing uncertainty in the macroeconomic business environment, we achieved year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit across Asahi Group as a whole, driven in part by a surge in pre-price revision demand in the alcohol business in Japan.
Asahi Super Dry, a top priority in our global brand portfolio, continued to perform strongly, with sales increasing not only in Japan but also across Europe and Asia. Sales volume outside Japan achieved a 14% YoY increase, boosted by growing brand awareness through global partnerships.
Sales volume for Beer Adjacent Categories grew by 12% YoY, thanks to strong performance in the beer-taste beverage category across regions and rising demand for RTD alcohol beverages in Japan.
In April, Asahi Group has transitioned from a four Regional Headquarters (RHQ) structure to a three RHQ structure by integrating the Oceania and Southeast Asia RHQs. Under a more agile and efficient governance system, we aim to accelerate our growth strategy, strengthen our competitive advantage in local markets, and further expand our presence in global markets.”
