Moederbedrijf Johnnie Walker verwacht groei

16 november 2021 om 11:24

LONDEN (ANP) De Britse drankenfabrikant Diageo, het moederbedrijf van merken zoals Johnnie Walker, Guinness en Baileys, verwacht de komende jaren een verdere groei van de drankenverkoop, meldt het bedrijf tijdens een beleggersdag.

Diageo houdt voor de eerste helft van dit boekjaar, dat loopt tot en met juni, rekening met een groei van ten minste 16 procent. Het bedrijf verhoogt ook de verwachting voor de groei van het marktaandeel. In 2030 rekent het bedrijf op een marktaandeel in de gehele alcoholmarkt van 6 procent. Vorig jaar was dat 4 procent.

Enkele maanden geleden hieven veel landen coronabeperkende maatregelen weer op en gingen economieën steeds meer open. Daardoor konden mensen weer naar bars en restaurants, plekken waar Diageo zijn waar afzet.
De producent verwacht dat de groei de rest van het jaar zal doorzetten, maar is iets minder positief over de tweede helft van het boekjaar.
