Competitive Landscape
Tito’S Outpaces Smirnoff as Diageo Loses Ground to Sazerac and Value Offerings
The competitive environment in spirits in the US remained moderately concentrated in 2025, with a handful of large manufacturers holding significant volume shares. Diageo North America Inc retained its position as the leading player, though its share declined slightly in 2025, reflecting a decrease in company volume of 5%—a contraction that outpaced the overall decline in spirits.
