Volume Growth vs Price Increase
Whatβs driving revenue growth for the worldβs largest consumer companies?Most companies, except Kimberly-Clark and P&G, resorted to a double-digit hike in prices in 2022 to drive revenue growth. Sales volume has also been on the rise, with Coca-Cola and Hershey reporting maximum growth of 5% and 4%, respectively, in sales volume. General Mills, Kraft Heinz, and Kimberly-Clark reported the third straight year of decline in sales volumes.
