Product
Broad premium portfolio
Broad premium portfolio spans whiskies, vodkas, gins, rums, liqueurs, tequilas, champagnes and wines, from mainstream to prestige cuvées and luxury collectibles. This multi-category mix enables cross-occasion consumption and gifting, supporting mix-driven margin uplift. The strategy underpins resilience across cycles and tastes, contributing to Pernod Ricard’s FY24 net sales of €12.67bn.
Iconic global brands
Pernod Ricard’s portfolio includes Absolut, Jameson, Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s, The Glenlivet, Martell, Beefeater, Havana Club, Malibu, Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, forming the backbone of the world’s second-largest wines and spirits group. Strong brand equity across these labels enables premium pricing and repeat purchase behavior. Recognizable visual and heritage assets simplify global activation and campaigns while provenance stories drive perceived authenticity and long-term loyalty.
Innovation and extensions
Regular line extensions, RTDs, new flavors and limited editions drive Pernod Ricard innovation, supporting a portfolio that delivered roughly €11.8bn in FY24 net sales. Mixology-led SKUs and cask-finish releases target trend seekers, while packaging refreshes and gifting formats increase shelf impact and premiumization. Pilot launches are used to de-risk rollouts and scale successful innovations rapidly.
Premiumization focus
Pernod Ricard’s premiumization strategy prioritizes higher-margin prestige and luxury expressions to lift perceived quality and experiential value, supporting a higher average revenue per case—global premium spirits grew ~6% year-on-year in 2024, underpinning pricing power.
This focus aligns directly with rising experiential and gifting demand, where limited editions and luxury packaging drive incremental margin and basket value for on- and off-trade channels.
- premium-margin lift: higher ASP and ARPC
- experience-led: limited editions & gifting demand
- market tailwind: premium spirits ~6% growth (2024)

Clear labeling and responsible sourcing cues support retailer/regulator expectations and signal brand values to consumers, while reducing logistical footprint and waste.
