2. Tsingtao
Two Chinese beers are all that stood in Bud’s way of dominance of the global beer market, starting with Tsingtao, which has 2.8% market share. The brand, which is the top selling Chinese brand in the U.S, was actually founded in Hong Kong by Germans in 1916. As China’s disposable income and appetite for beer has grown, so too has Tsingtao’s market share; it’s gained at least 0.1 percentage points in global market share annually since 2009. The pilsner with a 4.7% ABV also has an unpasteurised version under the brand name Tsingtao Draft Beer.
