Tsingtao Brewery Co. Ltd. (simplified Chinese: 青岛啤酒厂; traditional Chinese: 青島啤酒廠; pinyin: Qīngdǎo Píjiǔchǎng) is China's second largest brewery, with about 15% of domestic market share and also accounts for half of China's national beer exports.^[2][3][4] The brewery was founded in 1903 as an Anglo–German business with the brewery under the supervision of master brewers from Germany in Tsingtao (modern-day Qingdao), Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory, a 552 km² (213 sq mi) area leased by the government of China to Imperial Germany.

In 2016, Tsingtao beer was the second most consumed beer globally and had reached 2.8% share of the global beer market, after its share of the world's beer market had been steadily growing by at least 0.1 percentage points every year since 2009.^[5] Tsingtao is currently the sixth largest brewery in the world.
