Swiss food and beverage company Nestlé has released its 2025 half-year results, citing consistent goal execution as a factor in improving growth foundations.
Nestlé reported broad-based sales growth, with H1 organic sales growth (OG) of 2.9 per cent, real internal growth (RIG) of 0.2 per cent, and pricing of 2.7 per cent.
For Q2 2025, the company recorded OG of 3.0 per cent, with RIG of -0.4 per cent, and pricing of 3.3 per cent.
For Nestlé’s coffee range, pricing actions taken through H1 showed low elasticity in coffee and higher short-term impact in confectionery.
The company also saw a decline in Greater China impacting Group Q2 OG by 70 bps and RIG by 40 bps.
“We are executing our strategy to accelerate performance and transform for the future. We are accelerating our category growth and improving our market share, through better execution and increased investment, funded through a relentless pursuit of efficiency,” says Laurent Freixe, CEO of Nestlé.
“These actions are already delivering results, with broad-based growth and a robust profit performance in the first half. Where we are investing to accelerate category growth, we are growing four times faster than the Group, and our six innovation ‘big bets’ achieved sales of over CHF 200 million in the first half.
“At the same time, we are addressing our 18 key underperforming business cells, and the aggregate growth gap to market has improved by a third. We are also taking decisive measures to strengthen our business in Greater China and focus our Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements business on winning premium brands.”
As part of its group of coffee brands, Nestlé owns Nescafé, Nespresso, Nescafé Dolce Gusto, and Starbucks at Home among others.
