Despite Rising Costs, Consumer Products Companies Surveyed Expect Operating Margins to Increase

Palm Beach, FL – December 13, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The consumer goods market not only survived the recent pandemic, but it came through stronger, and observers project it will be back to sustained growth in the years to come. Ira Kalish, chief global economist, Deloitte said: “The baseline outlook for 2022 is for relatively strong growth in consumer products, even amid continued supply chain stress and labor shortage, though both should gradually abate. During the pandemic, governments, businesses, and individuals undertook actions that set the stage for strong economic growth.”  A report from Industry Research.biz projected that the global Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market size was valued at USD 11951.95 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.17% during the forecast period, reaching USD 14415.47 million by 2027.  The Deloitte report added: “Bold moves made during last year’s uncertainty are paying off, as the year ahead for the consumer products industry looks to be one of strong economic growth. Yet, some challenges could stand in the way of continued progress. How can consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies outmaneuver of these obstacles? Explore Deloitte’s perspective and what 100 executives from apparel, household goods, personal care, and food & beverage companies think awaits them in the year ahead.”  Active companies in the markets this week include Bruush Oral Care Inc. (NASDAQ: BRSH), Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFIX), Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT), Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST).

 

The article continued: For the consumer products industry, the next 12 months will likely be one of strong financial performance. Like last year, driving greater revenue continues to be the top goal for 93% of executives in Deloitte’s 2022 consumer products industry outlook survey. The “no-regret moves” companies undertook amid 2021’s unpredictability are paying off and despite rising costs, at least half of companies surveyed expect their operating margins to increase. This coincides with an environment conducive to raising prices for end consumers.  Consumer brands that aren’t open and transparent are the most at risk of losing meaningful trust with consumers, according to nine in ten executives surveyed. Becoming more transparent isn’t just a matter of changing a company’s overall approach or attitude toward openness. So, consumer product companies are putting their money where their mouth is. Six in ten companies are making moderate, if not significant, investments in 2022 to increase the level of transparency they provide to consumers and other stakeholders.”
