Roust Group in TOP 5 Global Spirits Marketers
Roust strengthens its position and remains the only Russian company in the ranking
Roust Group has taken #5 position among the TOP 10 Global Spirits Marketers according to Shanken's IMPACT magazine, a leading source for alcohol beverage industry statistics.
Shanken’s IMPACT ranking of the TOP 10 Global Spirits Marketers – published annually in September – is based on 2020 sales volumes of owned and agency brands, excluding sparkling and still wine, beer and RTDs.
In this year’s report, Roust has jumped from 7th to 5th place in the list of the largest spirit marketers, increasing 2020 volumes by 2.5% and becoming the only alcohol player in the Top 5 to show positive sales growth. Conversely, long-term leaders of the ranking - Diageo and Pernod Ricard - registered double-digit decrease of sales volumes by -13.5% and -12.6% respectively.
Shanken’s IMPACT highlighted Roust’s success: “Over the past two years the sales volume of the Roust Group of Companies increased by 2.9 million 9l cases amid lower or negative dynamics of the main global competitors due to the strong alcoholic brands in the portfolio and further international expansion.”
