Food & Drink Business, in collaboration with IBISWorld, proudly presents this year’s Top 100 Australian Food & Drink Companies 2017 report, which reveals the state of play among Australia's largest food and beverage companies.

In this special edition, you'll discover the big moves of Australia's top ten companies, the top performing industry sectors, and find out which companies soared up the list on rising revenues.

The annual Top 100 ranks companies in order of their most recently reported revenue, and we saw some interesting shifts this year, including a major move in the top 10 ranks by Treasury Wine Estates, which rose four spots to number five.

The list also shows which sectors performed well over the past year. Milk and cream processing and sugar thrived, for instance, with companies like A2 Milk and Mackay Sugar, rising quickly up the rankings this year, while beef companies did it a little tougher, with NH Foods Australia, and G & K O'Connor seeing falling revenues.

Several new companies entered this year's Top 100, either though market consolidation or organic growth, including Como Glasshouse, SPG Group, Sydney Fish Market, and Vitaco.

Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.

Pact has reported a decline in revenue and earnings for the first five months of FY26, citing subdued market demand, as chair Raphael Geminder pursues settlement of the long-running TIC earn-out dispute.
