Modelo Especial 15 percent US market share gains

Modelo Especial, after becoming the top-selling beer in the US, holds Star status in 2025 with roughly a 15% US market share gain, driven by double-digit volume growth among Hispanic and non-Hispanic drinkers and stealing share from domestic value brands.

AB InBev amplifies this growth via the Constellation Brands distribution pact and its global network, contributing to Modelo's estimated $3.8 billion US retail sales in 2025 and sustained premiumization momentum.

Icon
