Very few (5%) say they\u2019re raising retails higher than the increase to enhance their margins.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Data Says About 2023 Market Dynamics<\/h2>\n<p>Among other key findings in the report are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacturers\u2019 most-cited strategies for navigating inflationary costs in the first half of 2023 are investing in supply-chain efficiencies and enforcing existing payment terms.<\/li>\n<li>During the past six months, six in 10 surveyed manufacturers have decreased their trade spending. Eight in 10 are planning to reduce trade marketing funds to some degree in the first half of 2023 and seven in 10 will cut other marketing spending.<\/li>\n<li>To meet the needs of price-conscious consumers, retailers are focusing primarily on price points; they report planning to expand private-brand assortments, increase promotional offerings and consider longer-term price reductions. Manufacturers&#8217; top strategy is marketing their products as trusted, high-quality brands.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly nine in 10 retailers say their assortments will include more private brands over the next 12 months. To compete, manufacturers say they\u2019ll lean into product innovation, marketing and new packaging architecture.<\/li>\n<li>If deflation occurs, most manufacturers will invest in their brands through marketing; half expect to drop savings to the bottom line to improve their P&amp;Ls. Most retailers, though, would consider lowering their everyday price and increasing promotions.<\/li>\n<li>Despite continued investments and opportunities in digital commerce, manufacturers and retailers expect most of their growth to come from brick-and-mortar sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Price increases at the shelf may slow next year as a majority of consumer product goods industry manufacturers and retailers believe price points are \u201cmore important\u201d in today\u2019s marketplace and fewer than 40% of product makers say they plan to increase their list price in the first half of 2023, according to a report by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1064,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"advantage360-category":[45],"class_list":["post-2747","advantage360-reports","type-advantage360-reports","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","advantage360-category-outlook"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>October Sales Outlook: Retailers, CPGs Focus on Price<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fewer CPGs plan price hikes for 2023.
