The "Beer Processing - Global Market Outlook (2018-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.beer brewing equipment
The Global Beer Processing market accounted for $644.62 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $1008.62 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.
Some of the key factors such as the increasing number of microbreweries & brewpubs and rapid advancements in the brewery industry leading to the demand for advanced brewery equipment are driving the market growth. However, the increase in power and energy costs and rising capital investments and maintenance costs act as the restraining factors for market growth.
Beer is generally prepared using four basic ingredients-malted cereal grains, hops, water, and yeast, and undergoes the process of fermentation over a certain period of time. The beer process starts with grains, usually barley (although sometimes wheat, rye or other such things.) The grains are harvested and processed through a process of heating, drying out and cracking.
By equipment type, the on-trade segment is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period as the distribution channel offers advanced prices for the beer and the breweries are closer to the ultimate consumers, which helps in a profound understanding of consumption patterns better.
By geography, North America is expected to grow during the forecast period mainly due to the high growth rate in the region and the increasing investments by leading beer producers for extensions is further anticipated to drive the market growth.

This braiding method also allows them to create the finest hair extensions without having to treat the hair, either by using acid-dripping or harsh chemicals to create the appearance of quality hair. However, be wary since many companies deceivingly claim to provide quality remy hair when in fact they are really offering lower quality, cuticle-stripped hair that is often times blended with synthetic materials.
Many misleading brands who market top quality wholesale hair extensions will claim their products will last up to 6 months with proper care, while true remy hair extensions offered at Secret of Medusa can last up to 12 months with proper maintenance. You can rest assured, Secret of Medusa hair products are never acid dipped or treated with deceptive hair finishing spray. In addition to selling only premium quality hair extensions, Secret of Medusa offers several hair methods to meet each and every customer’s needs to ensure satisfaction.

There's not a whole lot of diversity among the English-speaking expat community. There are different religions and races, but little economic diversity. I think most people are fairly tolerant.
There aren't many career opportunities here. Most expats are sent here by their companies for a year or two. Some people have begun their own businesses, and there are English teaching jobs. Visa issues make it a bit sticky to come here without a job in hand.
My impression is that for most people here, the priorities are work. People work long hours and there's not much else to do unless you leave town.

It can be a very easy life. If your company wanted to send you here for a while, it's not a terrible place to live. But don't come here unless you have a reason. Be prepared for heavy pollution, unpleasant weather, and little to do. Shopping is great and it's close to Beijing.
But this is Shanghai, and the near-clone of the college’s 400-year old parent in London is one of a growing number of prestigious British educational institutions lending their names to newly minted offshoots abroad.
Officials at the UK’s Department for International Trade say they are aware of more than 120 foreign projects being considered by British schools.
The new branches dovetail with the government’s global education strategy, which aims to support “transnational education” of fee-paying pupils abroad as a source of exports. Many such pupils go on to apply for UK university places.
David Cook, who ran Dulwich’s first international school in Thailand before becoming headmaster of Repton in Dubai, and then oversaw the creation of schools for both Harrow and Wellington in China, said: “It’s quite extraordinary. high school Shanghai
I could never have imagined 20 years ago that this growth would happen.”
But sector specialists caution that the surge in schools exploring foreign offshoots may not be sustainable, undermining the government’s aim to boost annual education exports from £20bn to £35bn by 2030.
They point out that the expansion comes against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty in Asia and the Gulf, where demand for the schools is highest, and the schools themselves have limited capacity to expand abroad while maintaining their operations back in the UK.
In the premium private international school market, “the cake is becoming bigger but it is being sliced between many more who are taking a share,” cautioned Ashwin Assomull, a partner in the education practice at LEK, a consultancy. He added that there had been an explosion in both British schools abroad and a number of rival private international school chains.
British and other international schools in the past catered primarily to expatriates, but during the past decade demand in emerging markets — led by China — has grown sharply to cater for an expanding domestic middle class with disposable income and global aspirations for their children.
Colin Bell, the chief executive of the Council of British International Schools, said this growing demand reflected “the reputation of British education, and English as the business language of choice”. He added that UK and US universities were also highly ranked, and British schools were seen as an important route into them.
According to ISC Research, which tracks education trends, there are now 73 British independent schools with sister schools or partnerships abroad. They teach a total of 45,000 students and have annual fee income of $1bn. Another 19 are due to open during the next two years.
Joe Spence, the master of Dulwich College in London, which now has 10 international partnerships, argued that the appetite for elite public schools reflected “the development of the British model over 150 years, balancing academic quality with pastoral care. and supra- and co-curricular activities such as music, drama, charitable work and leadership”.
He said the revenues generated by Dulwich’s overseas branches were used to fund scholarships that encourage social mobility back in London, while international exchanges enriched the experience for students and staff alike. But he stressed that his overseas strategywas not a “not smash and grab”.
It brought revenues of only about £1m a year and required a significant investment in resources for the supervision, support and selection of senior staff.
Mark Abell, a lawyer at Bird & Bird, confirmed that the scope for elite schools such as Dulwich to expand profitably was limited. Mr Abell, who has acted for 80 schools and has 30 projects under discussion, said economies of scale were important.
“I explain to clients that if they want to open one or two schools, they are wasting their time: they will never go to scale and will not have a long-term sustainable project,” he said.
He pointed out that schools could struggle to maintain standards at faraway branches, where it can be difficult balance the school’s interests with those of local business partners who typically manage and own the properties. For example, Dulwich split from its first school in Thailand over differences in approach.
“You have kids with different levels of motivation and English language proficiency, and local partners who want to fill their facilities quickly so you can’t be so selective,” added Mr Assomull at LEK.
One area with a special need for a highly skilled workforce is the pharmaceutical industry. Professionals in this area need to keep up to date with scientific progress and legal requirements to adequately perform and deliver their research and development (R&D) activities. This is particularly necessary for those joining the registers of toxicologists across Europe. Industry also needs to be able to support the CPD of employees who continuously have to up-skill and /or re-skill in a rapidly moving business.
To ensure the inclusion of the latest scientific insights and legal changes in continual training of professionals some pharmaceutical companies have developed training courses addressing their needs; others simply relocate to where they have access to a skilled workforce. This is unnecessarily expensive for industry. What’s more, it does not address the fact that individuals trained in one company often need to be retrained when they move jobs. This is due to the fact that skills acquired in one setting are frequently not recognized in another.
If this problem can be addressed on a European level it will increase the critical mass of scientists underpinning the industry. Consequently Europe will be more attractive for industry to locate and/or expand their R&D facilities. A solution to this problem can be study programmes offered by universities such as those provided by the Universities of Surrey and Birmingham or through the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) platform of courses such as SafeSciMet or PharmaTrain. Both the universities of Surrey and Birmingham have a long-standing research and teaching profile in toxicology with substantial interactions with industry. In particular, they provide expertise in running training programmes to meet the industry’s requirements.
Surrey runs a successful Modular Training Programme in Applied Toxicology as well as a more basic programme on the principles of toxicology for non-toxicologists under the Centre for Toxicology. Birmingham runs an MSc Course in toxicology and an MRes in Molecular Mechanistic Toxicology. Both Universities have staff who contribute to national and international toxicology committees and societies.
Participants on the Modular Training Programme at Surrey can be exempt from a module based on work experience. They are required to provide evidence of previous learning and/or experience and may receive exemption from appropriate modules. Those gaining exemption are asked to give a lecture/tutorial or contribute a case study. This offers an opportunity to exchange ideas and enhances networking. The University of Surrey also offers workshops as “spin offs” from the main Master’s programme. These workshops/short courses are CPD accredited.
In conclusion, the flexibility of modular training programmes provides not only the opportunity of an academic qualification but also allows for “up-skilling” for those in employment. The design of programme also permits workshops to be developed and the opportunity for credit transfer between Universities.
Despite an overall trend of declining health and athleticism among Chinese children, a growing number of young people are taking up tennis — a sport invented in the U.K. in 1873 that barely existed in China less than two decades ago.
Like many others, Ni began playing tennis in 2011, when China’s former world No. 2 women’s tennis player Li Na became the first from Asia to win the Grand Slam championship title at the French Open. Li’s success led to a domestic tennis fever, and that same year, Ni’s father and coach, Xi Zhiye, began training his then-5-year-old daughter.
“There was a surge in the number of Chinese teenagers starting to learn tennis that year — some of the parents thought the sport could be a possible future for their children,” said Xi, who quit his job in securities trading two years ago to focus on his daughter’s tennis training.
In her age group, Ni is a top player: Last year, she won third place in the national Zheng Jie Cup teen tennis tournament. The 11-year-old is a short-distance runner and a soccer player on the school teams, but it’s her tennis ability cultivated over six years of intensive training that has won her the most medals.
“I like playing tennis. It helps me relax after school,” Ni told Sixth Tone. “I’m the only one at my school who plays tennis, but I don’t feel lonely — I make friends at different tournaments, and they’re all excellent tennis players.”
The number of tennis players registered at Shanghai’s 16 government-run children’s sports clubs has increased tenfold since 2007, from 100 to 1,075 today, according to the city’s tennis association. A decade ago, only five of the 16 district clubs offered tennis, but now each has a team, said Xue Lei, vice secretary-general of the association. Tennis is also being offered at schools alongside other sports as part of a wider push by the Chinese government to encourage children to stay active.
Xue attributes the increased interest in youth tennis to the sport’s growing profile in China. In 1998, the international tennis tournament Heineken Open came to Shanghai, making it the first world-class tennis competition in the country. The Tennis Masters Cup and ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments followed a few years later. Earlier this month, the Shanghai Masters entered its ninth year, drawing top international players like men’s singles champion Roger Federer.
“Many young parents today grew up watching these tennis games or following a certain star tennis player,” said Xue. “Motivated by their own interest in the sport, they started bringing their children to the court.”
This is certainly true for Ni, whose father began playing tennis as a hobby in the late 1990s and remains a loyal fan of Federer. Xi couldn’t wait to start teaching his daughter the sport when she turned 5 — considered the minimum age for children to start tennis training.
The world’s most populous country with 1.38 billion citizens, China has witnessed a boom in international schooling since the millennium. Most international schools are centred on Shanghai and Beijing with smaller clusters around Guangzhou, Chengdu and Qingdao.
More than 500 English-medium international schools now exist in mainland China, compared to just 22 in 2001, and together they enrol more than 200,000 students. Among them are 163 IB World Schools, including 112 authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
There are schools offering the curriculums of France, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Japan, Australia and Canada, while many follow American and British programmes and exams. Most are coeducational day schools but a sizeable minority offer boarding, including sister schools to several leading British independent schools.
Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) is the first and only full continuum IB World School in mainland China authorized to offer all four IB programme.
Foreign-owned international schools are not allowed to admit Chinese citizens, unless they have one parent with a foreign passport or have returned from abroad. However, public schools and Chinese-owned private schools may admit foreign nationals and many have set up an international stream alongside the Chinese curriculum. Meanwhile, some private schools have developed bilingual programmes in Chinese and English that use international curriculums and exams.
The international education group Nord Anglia Education has also entered the Chinese market, operating seven international schools plus two bilingual schools, while the Hong Kong-based Yew Chung Education Foundation offers its model of bilingual, bicultural education at four international schools and five private schools in mainland China.
Education is compulsory and free to Chinese citizens for nine years. It includes six years of primary schooling starting from age six and three years of middle school up to age 15. Three years of senior secondary school or vocational education follow.
The Financial Times first reported on Cheng's departure after obtaining an internal memo. A Nio spokesperson confirmed Cheng's retirement with The Verge this past Thursday. A company statement said Cheng will still be a personal adviser to William Li, who serves as CEO of Nio.
Nio debuted as somewhat of a Chinese rival to Tesla. The company itself pegged its first vehicle, the ES8 electric SUV, as a full-fledged (and more affordable) rival to the Tesla Model X. The ES8 began shipping out to customers in the summer of 2018 a few months ahead of its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Despite raising around $1 billion from its initial public offering, shares have slid around 75 percent, per The Verge.
Cheng's decision to retire from the company comes as a tidal wave of factors have hurt the company. The US-China trade war has stifled Chinese auto sales. Chinese government subsidies have since expired. Deliveries of the impressive ES8 have declined every single month since March of this year.
This year, Nio flipped on its cost-saving mode, shelved plans to build a new production facility, and laid off 3% of its Chinese workforce. Additionally, the electric-car maker closed its Silicon Valley office. Previously, the company eyed the US market, but it appears Nio is much further away from such a goal.
Now, the company likely hopes the more-affordable ES6 electric SUV can help right the ship. We got an up-close look at the vehicle earlier this year and walked away impressed, but Chinese consumers will have the final say.
Currently, the CSL is run by an operating company in which the CFA holds a controlling 36-per-cent stake and the clubs hold 4 per cent each. This means, in effect, that the CFA directly manages the league.
According to local media, Liu Wei, the secretary-general of the CFA, said: “A committee to manage the Chinese Super League is being formed, and moving forwards the CFA will not manage the league, and will relinquish its shareholding of the CSL holding company. The CFA will only maintain governance over major issues, and hold a single vote on the committee.”
The change is part of reforms promised by CFA president Chen Xuyuan in August, when he told Xinhuanet: “The CSL and lower leagues have been rapidly developing in recent years, but our professional leagues are still facing a huge crisis.
“The healthy development of professional leagues is the cornerstone of Chinese football. Clubs need to be financially independent. We are far from that.”
He pledged to make the CSL run independently, and said his vision was for it to operate like the English Premier League or Spain’s LaLiga, where member clubs are shareholders, with the CFA operating in a less direct, supervisory role.
Chen said: “I think in the future, the CSL and the CFA will be partners. As long as we make the rules clear, there won’t be much conflict between the two and our professional leagues will be able to develop themselves better.”
Huang Shenghua, the vice-chairman of CSL club Guangzhou R&F, said the league clubs are working quickly to reach agreement on the composition of a management committee, and will incorporate a holding company once that is done.
Liu said he expects the independent Super League to be set up by next month. He also said there would be no major changes in the number of teams in the league for the time being. Any expansion plans will be discussed jointly by the CFA and the league and announced one season in advance.
