Inflation & Cash Flow Pressures

Rising costs for raw materials, energy, and logistics are squeezing margins. Businesses must carefully manage pricing strategies while maintaining profitability – a delicate balance.

Increased Price Sensitivity

Consumers and trade partners are more price-conscious than ever, looking for discounts, private-label alternatives, and cost-effective options. Premium brands face the challenge of having to justify their higher prices. In addition, many struggle with the question whether to produce private label brands for the trade sector.

Supply Chain Disruptions & Labor Shortages

Delays in ingredient sourcing, packaging materials, and transportation impact production and distribution have become prevalent since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing supply chain disruptions. A lack of skilled workers in manufacturing and logistics further slows down operations.
