The study also examines what consumers hold responsible for price increases such as ingredient supply problems, manufacturers themselves, the pandemic, transportation issues, the government, and labor shortages.
Key findings from the latest study:
- Areas where consumers have noticed price increases include groceries (91%), gas (84%), home improvement and building supplies (82%) and OTC medications (72%).
- Price increases have resulted in consumers buying certain products less often (45%), buying only when on sale or with a coupon (29%), buying a cheaper brand (25%), buying generic or store brands (22%), and buying larger pack sizes or bulk sizes (15%).
- Price increases of OTC medicines have 51% percent of respondents buying generic or store brands of pain medication, with 46% buying generic or store brand cough and cold medication.
A complete representation of the “CPG Price Increase Impact” can be found here. Data was collected earlier this month from n=1,001 U.S. general population consumers over age 21.
The study is ongoing, and new data will be released as it comes in. The study findings are designed to help clients and industry leaders navigate quickly changing consumer behavior.
