Givaudan is the world’s second largest F&F company by revenue and widely regarded as the industry’s creative and technological leader. The company reported full year 2025 sales of CHF 7,472 million — approximately $9.8 billion — representing 5.1% like-for-like growth. Fine Fragrance grew 18.3% like-for-like for the second consecutive year of exceptional growth.
Givaudan’s competitive advantage rests on three pillars: creative excellence in fine fragrance built over more than two centuries, proprietary ingredient technology including Ambrofix and Cashmeran, and the Carto AI-assisted formulation platform. The acquisition of Amyris’s F&F assets in 2023 brought fermentation platform capabilities in-house. CEO Gilles Andrier retired on March 1, 2026, succeeded by Christian Stammkoetter.
