CBG’s net profits attributed to our shareholders in 2021 were THB 2,881 million, down by 18.3%, due mainly to declining sales of branded own products.  The main source of lower profits are due to price hikes of raw materials and packaging materials as well as an increase in administrative expenses.

Total revenue from sales in 2021 was THB 17,364 million, up by 0.8%. An expansion of revenue from 3rd party products for distribution by 47.9% due to growing selection of quality products and consumer base, coupled with an increase in revenue from other sources, managed to help offset the impacts of declining revenue from sales of branded own products during slow pace of economies and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Domestic sales were THB 5,697 million, down by 4.8%,due mainly to a drop in sales of Carabao Dang energy drinks. According to the Nielsen’s final sales data to end consumers in 2021, the Thai energy drink market contracted by 7.5%. Our Carabao Dang energy drinks ranked the 2nd with 20.7% share.
