Demand For Packaged Food Drops In US: Has 'Miracle' Drug Ozempic Got Something To Do With It?
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Packaged-food manufacturers in the US are experiencing a significant drop in sales due to high food prices, consumer shift to fresh produce, and market share loss to private label and emerging brands. Companies like Conagra Brands, General Mills, Kellanova, and Kraft Heinz have seen their volumes fall by 6% or more in the 52-week period ended September 2023. Analyst Robert Moskow from TD Cowen suggests that this trend could continue into 2024 unless firms reduce prices.
