Summary

Asahi Group Holdings has halted the shipment of beer and new products due to system disruptions caused by recent cyberattacks, leading to an increasing number of stores running out of stock.

There is currently no clear timeline for recovery, and it is expected that temporary orders for main products will begin to be delivered sequentially starting from the 3rd. This situation could have serious implications for the company.

Admin’s Note

The impact of the cyber attack on Asahi Beer could ripple throughout the entire industry and significantly affect consumers as well. In particular, a shortage of beer directly correlates with the demand as we head into the autumn season, making swift recovery essential. As Chako mentioned, the loss of enjoyment during these unexpected circumstances can heighten consumer anxiety. Companies need to strengthen their risk management and implement measures to prevent recurrence.
