Food & Drink Business

The Top 10 remained a stable list this year, with five companies holding their position – Fonterra (#1), JBS (#2), Coca-Cola Eurpacific Partners (#3), Asahi  (#4), and Thomas Foods International (#7). The biggest change was Treasury Wine Estates dropping out of the list, from #10 to #13.

Welcome to this year’s Top 100 edition. Each year, when we sit-down with IBISWorld to review the list, there is a sense of anticipation about what it will reveal. New entrants, big jumps and the inevitable tumbles, the list has it all.

Food & Drink Business and IBISWorld present this year’s Top 100 companies, a ranking of Australia’s largest food and drink companies by revenue. This year reflects a sector positioning itself for immediate term viability and long-term competitiveness.
