Consumer trends and demand

• Second-half volume outlooks had not been reduced; demand was being monitored amid consumer uncertainty and a K-shaped economy, with offerings across premium and affordable products.

• Private label accounts for 15%-20% of U.S. sales and 40%-45% in Europe; sales also span food service, quick-service restaurants and insurgent brands.

• Protein fortification grew 40% in the latest quarter, supported by demand for fortified products and tight whey supply.

• Reformulation demand is supporting clean-label, protein-fortified, lower-sugar and textural innovation products; texture was identified as a growth driver across food categories.

• Branded manufacturers lowered prices after losing share to private label; both channels are pursuing innovation to support sustainable volume growth.
