2018-2019 Campaign Report<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cognac, France, 19th August 2019 \u2013 For the fifth straight year, cognac exports continued to grow in\u00a02018-2019, reaching their highest levels ever in both volume and value. The period saw 211.1 million\u00a0bottles shipped, with a value of 3.4 billion euros. In addition, Cognac secured the addition of 10,000\u00a0hectares (24,710 acres) of vineyards over the next three years.<\/p>\n

Exports Still Growing in 2018\/20191<\/sup><\/span><\/h2>\n

With exports accounting for 98% of production, cognac has consolidated its development this year, with\u00a0shipments growing by more than 2.5% in volume and nearly 6.9% in value. In all, 211.1 million bottles\u00a0were shipped in 2018-2019, for a turnover of 3.4 billion euros. Cognac contributes significantly to the trade\u00a0surplus of French wines and spirits. Representing nearly a quarter of the total value of French wine and spirits\u00a0for export, it tops the list of major appellations.<\/p>\n

Favorable Conditions for Cognac, led by the NAFTA Zone and East Asia<\/span><\/h2>\n

With 97.7 million bottles shipped in the period (an increase of +8.8% in volume and +17.6% in value),\u00a0the NAFTA2<\/sup> zone continues to grow (46% of shipments). The United States once again drives this dynamic\u00a0gain with 94.3 million bottles shipped in 2018\/2019. The American taste for cognac is largely due to the\u00a0long history of cognac in this market, consistent investments by the cognac houses and the popularity of\u00a0cocktails in the US.<\/p>\n

Over the same period, shipments to East Asia3<\/sup> stabilized at 60.0 million bottles, representing 28% of shipments\u00a0(-1.5% by volume and +1.8% by value). Producers and shippers in the Cognac sector remain confident\u00a0about the significant potential for development in the region, driven by the Chinese market, and the\u00a0appetite of a culture that appreciates the excellence of French know-how and the image of a top-quality\u00a0product.<\/p>\n

In contrast, shipments within Europe4<\/sup> are down by -4.6% in volume and -6.4% in value, for a total of more\u00a0than 39.4 million bottles. However, the strength of the Eastern European market5<\/sup> (which is up by +4.2%\u00a0in volume and +3.5% in value) offsets the decline observed in the overall European market. France, the 5th\u00a0market for cognac, is still growing (up +9.3% in volume and -23.8 % in value), but Germany, in 6th position,\u00a0and the United Kingdom, in 4th position (and traditionally the leading market the European Union),\u00a0are down by -6.0% and -6.7% by volume and +5.2% and -4.1% by value respectively.<\/p>\n

A Positive Outlook Continues in the Rest of the World<\/span><\/h2>\n

Growing shipments to areas with high potential (South Africa, Nigeria, Caribbean6<\/sup>) are once again a\u00a0highlight, both in terms of volume (+12.3%) and value (+13.2%). The share of these new markets has increased\u00a0three-fold over the last ten years. Moreover, these new areas of opportunity represent 3.3% of total\u00a0volume shipped, or 7.0 million bottles.<\/p>\n

Exports Increasing for VS and VSOP Categories<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shipments of VS7<\/sup> (which represent 51% of cognac shipments) and VSOP8<\/sup> (nearly 38% of shipments) increased\u00a0in volume by +5.7% and +0.4% respectively and in value by +12.7% and +7.8%).<\/p>\n

Representing 11% of shipments, the older qualities category stabilized over the period with a decrease of\u00a0-4.0% in volume and -0.1% in value.<\/p>\n

An Integrated and Cohesive Plan for Planting 10,000 Hectares Over 3 Years<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Cognac sector is implementing a medium-term plan for 10,000 hectares of new vines, consistent with\u00a0its shipping forecasts. Once these new vines are planted, the potential of the vineyard will be 86,000 hectares\u00a0(212,510 acres) compared to 76,000 hectares (187,800 acres) today. This development complements the\u00a0vineyard renewal9<\/sup> actions already undertaken in the Charentes-Cognac production area.<\/p>\n

This plan is the result of a collective effort by the winemakers and shippers of the Cognac appellation, as\u00a0contained in their Business Plan which provides foresight and a long-term vision to manage the production\u00a0needs of the sector in line with market forecasts.<\/p>\n
