Abstract

In the context of fierce competition in the domestic liquor market and changing preferences of young consumers, Kweichow Moutai has been endeavouring to expand its international business in order to reduce its reliance on the domestic market. At the same time, influenced by consumer policies, such as restrictions on official spending and the criminalisation of drunk driving, expansion into the international market has become a necessary path for Kweichow Moutai. Europe is a traditional concentration of spirits consumption, with many of the world’s largest drinking nations and a long history of alcohol consumption, especially in the mid- to high-end market white wine is more favoured by the market. The European market is also the second largest region for Moutai’s overseas exports. Taking Europe as the target market, this study examines the key factors affecting Kweichow Moutai’s export competitiveness, aiming to help Kweichow Moutai develop a better export strategy. The study of the European market can also provide a reference for Kweichow Moutai’s development in other overseas markets.
This study has two main objectives: (1) to identify the key factors affecting Kweichow Moutai’s export competitiveness in the European market; and (2) to examine the effect of brand reputation, product uniqueness, knowledge of laws and regulations, and distribution channel management on Moutai’s export competitiveness in the European market.
This study adopted a quantitative research methodology by distributing questionnaires and using SPSS software for statistical and correlation analyses. The study collected questionnaires from the employees of Kweichow Moutai headquarters and branches, and 380questionnaires were completed, with 340 valid questionnaires and a valid recovery rate of 89.5%. The study shows that: (1) The influencing factors of Kweichow Moutai’s export competitiveness in the European market are brand reputation, product uniqueness, knowledge of laws and regulations, and distribution channel management. (2) brand reputation, product uniqueness, knowledge of laws and regulations, and distribution channel management have a positive effect on Kweichow Moutai’s export competitiveness.
