New Economic Reality: Identifying Opportunities as Geopolitics Transforms Globalisation

Globalisation has boosted global growth and facilitated the rise of emerging markets. Yet, the shifting global economic balance of power has increasingly led to political backlash, trade conflicts and protectionism. The COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine have greatly exacerbated existing geopolitical tensions, leading to an increasing fragmentation and reorganisation of the global economy. Therefore, businesses need to adjust strategies to mitigate risks and seize new opportunities.

Top Trends Shaping the Eyewear Industry in 2025

The global eyewear market is predicted to exceed USD160 billion in 2025, with growth slightly below that recorded in 2024. Amid economic uncertainty, eyewear consumers are seeking cost-effective and health-conscious product choices offering value for money. Meanwhile, many consumers at the higher end of the market are willing to pay more for quality, durability and convenience.

Southeast Asia Holds Growth Potential for Chinese Food Firms

Chinese companies have historically struggled to secure a strong position in the Southeast Asian packaged food market due to preference for local brands, and past food safety scandals in China. The dominance of established local conglomerates poses an added challenge for foreign brands. Despite these challenges, Chinese companies have been able to grow their presence.

The retail tissue market in 2025 is adapting to economic pressures through innovation, private label growth and sustainability. Boxed tissues are resurging, e-commerce is expanding and consumers are demanding eco-friendly and high-quality products.

Global Shifts, Local Wins: Competing in the Personal Accessories Market in 2025

The personal accessories industry has long been led by Western European luxury houses, but Asia-based companies are rapidly gaining ground, and are poised to drive growth over the next five years. Meanwhile, the US – the second largest market after China – is facing tariff pressures that could ripple across the global landscape. As market dynamics shift, balancing global scale with local relevance is becoming increasingly critical for sustained success.

Unpacking 2025 Price Cuts and Online Sales Shifts

As cost-of-living pressures grow, Australia’s top supermarkets—Coles and Woolworths—have rolled out major price cuts on essential items. But while the savings are real, public reaction has been mixed. Shoppers remain skeptical, citing past price-gouging claims and distrust of promotional tactics. This piece explores why the cuts were made, how consumers are responding, and what other retailers can learn. Using Via pricing data, we highlight where price shifts are occurring and how they compare across markets. The key takeaway: cutting prices isn't just a financial decision—it’s a trust strategy. And unless backed by transparency and long-term consistency, even the best intentions may fall flat.

Turning Transactions into Loyalty: How In-Store Touchpoints Power Reward Programmes

With global retail projected to exceed USD20.8 trillion in constant terms by 2029, and e-commerce penetration to reach 28%, brick-and-mortar retailers must elevate their strategies and enhance the customer journey, especially when supported by well-designed loyalty programmes. To this end, retailers are increasingly leveraging in-store experiences and touchpoints to activate, reinforce and, crucially, personalise engagement.

Global Economic Outlook: Q3 2025

The global economy began adapting to a shifting trade landscape and demonstrated resilience in H1 2025, supported by easing energy prices and front-loading trade activity. However, fresh US tariff hikes and persistent uncertainty are set to constrain global growth from H2 2025.

Energising Everyone: How New Segmentation is Powering US Energy Drinks Beyond the Core

Energy drinks remains one of the growth stars in US soft drinks, and more widely across consumer packaged goods. Despite many categories struggling to stimulate meaningful volume with a financially stretched US consumer, energy drinks achieved 4% retail volume growth in 2024 – even accounting for weaker traffic in the higher-priced, inflation-impacted convenience channel, a challenge which appears to be somewhat abating in 2025.

Empowering Women’s Health: Focus on Ethics and Efficacy

The expansion of wellness to encompass a more holistic and inclusive view has meant that previously taboo or underserved areas such as women's health are now becoming a more critical component of the evolution of the wellness journey. In an increasingly saturated and overcrowded wellness marketplace, elevating brand credibility through science and medical backing will be key for closing the gap in consumer product and service adoption.

Key Regulatory Dynamics Shaping Nicotine and Cannabis

The impact of regulation across both the tobacco and the cannabis industries is immense, with the former experiencing ever-tightening frameworks, often even on newer, perceived less harmful forms of consumption, and the latter going through a period of rapid, if uneven, liberalisation. This theme examines the key elements of regulatory mechanics in each industry, analysing where one may influence the other in the longer term.

Future of Consumption: A Strategic Roadmap

Businesses today face the challenge of achieving and accelerating growth amid historically weak economic expansion and a rapidly changing environment.

Growth Opportunities in the Transformed Women’s Sportswear Segment

High-profile events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup and WNBA games have significantly increased viewership, alongside expanded media coverage and social media visibility. The heightened interest in women’s sports has fuelled sales of women’s sportswear and these products outperformed men’s over the last five years. Despite the better performance, gender gaps persist in the sports world, offering opportunities for those who want to invest in this expanding segment.

Megatrends: Quantifying Personalisation

In 2023, the global marketplace for personalised products and services sagged in the face of changing consumer preferences; however, Euromonitor's quantification model expects that the drop in interest in personalised products and services over the historic period to be transitory, with broad growth returning from 2022-2027.
