Summary of Findings

• During the initial hour of research, we sought information on the sale of Asahi beer in the US.
• While Asahi Group Holding is a publicly traded company and publishes its financial information, it was challenging finding figures on US sales. This is most likely because it does not have a strong presence in the US. The greater part of its overseas revenue comes from Europe and Oceania and detailed information on these markets is available.
• It was possible to find figures on overseas sales volumes for Asahi Super Dry Beer and calculate the volume for North America, however, no information was available to further break sales down to the US.
