Latin America’s Beauty Consumers Are Digital First, but Not Digital Only
1 Jul 26Latin America’s beauty and personal care e-commerce channel has expanded at a rapid pace, the fastest globally. While growth is beginning to moderate, one thing is clear: the strategic focus is evolving. Winning is no longer about simply building an online presence. Brands must aim for omnichannel presence, seamlessly integrating across every consumer touchpoint, from discovery to purchase, to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.

US-Iran Agreement Signals Fragile Economic Stabilisation
26 Jun 26The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, signed on 17 June, marks a pivotal shift from disruption to stabilisation — consistent with Euromonitor's central scenario, which anticipated conditions beginning to ease in mid-2026. However, the deal is a starting point, not a resolution. Mines, fragile confidence, and infrastructure damage mean full recovery of Strait of Hormuz shipping flows will take months. Energy costs and supply chain pressures will ease gradually, while uncertainty remains elevated.

NRA 2026: Taste and Health Claims Proliferate but Value Remains Key
23 Jun 26Affordability is the biggest question on everyone’s mind. As of mid-2026, inflationary pressures persist, consumers are unhappy, birth rates are low, and tourism to the US has plummeted. The US-Iran war has become a months-long global oil shock that has yet to fully trickle down through the global supply chain. Many consumers are struggling; those who can afford to are seeking out permissible indulgences. The National Restaurant Association (NRA) show saw the results of these drivers on display, as manufacturers look to eke out what profits they can in difficult economic circumstances.

Growth of Bakery Products in Asia Will Be Won in Snacking
10 Jun 26Asia Pacific’s bakery market is entering a more dynamic phase. The biggest opportunity will not come from trying to make bakery a daily staple in rice- and noodle-led diets, where retail volume consumption of bread is only a third that of rice in Asia. It will come from repositioning bakery as an impulse-led, indulgent and increasingly health-aware snacking proposition.

The impact extends beyond energy markets: rerouted shipping, airspace restrictions and disrupted exports of petrochemicals and fertilisers have raised freight and input costs globally, reducing margins and exposing the depth of vulnerability in energy importing and trade-dependent economies.
