2024 Global Champagne Shipments Announced

Total Champagne shipments in 2024 account for 271.4 million bottles, down 9.2% from 2023.

In 2024, France is down by 7.2% on 2023 with 118.2 million bottles. The domestic market is still suffering from the prevailing gloomy political and economic context.

Exports are down 10.8% on 2023 with 153.2 million bottles. However, exports (56.4% of total sales) remain significantly higher than sales on the domestic market, confirming the switch in trend observed in recent years.

For Maxime Toubart, president of the Champagne Winegrowers and co-president of the Comité Champagne:

“Champagne is a true barometer of consumer mood. This is no time for celebration – with inflation and global conflicts taking place, as well as economic and political uncertainty in some of Champagne’s largest markets, such as France and the US.”

For David Chatillon, president of the Champagne Houses and co-president of the Comité Champagne:

“It’s in less favourable times that we need to prepare for the future, maintain our plans in terms of sustainable development, and attract new markets and new consumers. Champagne is a solid, sustainable organisational model that has proved its value, even in the face of adversity, which reinforces its confidence in the future.”
