The spirits industry in the Philippines has three major players, Ginebra San Miguel's gin, Emperador's brandy, and Tanduays rum. The competition is very tough among these three major competitors, where Ginebra San Miguel is the leader. These three companies are not only the top selling brands in the country, but also lead in their own categories worldwide. Ginebra San Miguel is the number one selling gin in the world and has been winning numerous awards from the Monde selection. Emperador Brandy is the number one selling brandy in the world. Tanduay Rhum is the number one selling rum in the Philippines and number two selling rum in the world, second to Bacardy. Bacardy sells its products worldwide while Tanduay sells its products only in the Philippines, which is the reason Bacardy has higher volume sales than Tanduay. Ginebra San Miguel is currently aiming to focus on their secondary target market, belonging to the age bracket between 21 to 34 years old, to gain a bigger market share.
