Nestlé - Statistics & Facts

Published by Statista Research Department, Aug 24, 2021

Measured by net sales, the Swiss company Nestlé S.A. is the world’s largest fast moving consumer goods company. Nestlé’s net sales amount to over 93 billion U.S. dollars. The company is headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland and employs approximately 273,000 people worldwide. As a globally operating company, Nestlé serves a large variety of different consumer markets. With a 44.7 percent regional share of worldwide sales, most stem from “the Americas”, followed by Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

Company portfolio

The product portfolio is vast and ranges from beverages such as water, powdered and liquid beverages, to baby and health foods, and sweets and snacks. Nestlé's confectionery sales have been declining for eight years and have recently fallen below a grand total of seven billion Swiss francs. The largest subsegment is chocolate. Confectionery and water are the smallest segments in the company's portfolio. The largest Nestlé product segment is powdered and liquid beverages at 22.6 billion Swiss francs in sales, followed by pet food with 14 billion Swiss francs in sales.

The U.S. market

Measured by sales, the United States is the most important market for Nestlé products. Here, Nestlé made 26 billion Swiss francs in sales. Sales in the next biggest market, the Greater China Region, amounted to less than a quarter of U.S. sales. The position of Nestlé in various U.S. market segments is quite significant. Before Nestlé Waters was integrated into the regional zones of Nestlé, at the start of 2020, the division held a 9.9 percent share of the liquid refreshment beverage market in the United States. Nestlé Pure Life is among the top four bottled still water brands in the United States.
