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.

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.

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.

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.
