Asia Pacific Cider Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Asia Pacific Cider Market Growth

China leads the world in apple production, with its fresh apple output making up 53.20% of the global total as of 2020. While apple farming in China takes place in various locations, the majority of production is concentrated in regions such as the Bohai Bay and Loess Plateau. Despite smallholders running most apple orchards, these two areas alone contribute to 80% of the country's growing area and 90% of its production. Furthermore, India is also a significant player in apple production, particularly in regions like Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. The country alone produced 2,276 tonnes of apples in 2021.

The economic expansion in numerous Asian nations has resulted in a rise in disposable income, enabling consumers to allocate more funds towards beverages, such as premium and imported selections. In the first quarter of 2024, China's per capita disposable income reached 11,539 yuan ($1,624.57), marking a 6.2 per cent increase compared to the previous year in nominal terms, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics. With the growth in disposable incomes, consumers now possess greater financial freedom to invest in non-essential products, including alcoholic beverages like cider.

The Minami-Shinshu region in southern Nagano Prefecture, Japan, is renowned for its numerous apple orchards and is considered a key hub for cider production in the country. In 2020, five local cider producers in the area initiated a collaborative effort with cider makers from Australia, Denmark, Norway, Spain, and the United States. This joint project, known as Global Cider Connect, aims to enhance the quality of its cider products through innovation and international partnerships.
