PepsiCo adapts the right way to thrive in ANY market

Due to inflation affecting the price of raw commodities, PepsiCo has had to also raise the cost of their products.

However, the price hike has only mildly affected the volume of sales and they have remained profitable. 

“Inflation was higher than 12% over the quarter, so we did need to fix some pricing. Pricing did affect volumes, but the volumes have held up well.”

The conglomerate’s steady volume of sales is the result of “keeping up with changing consumer needs and preferences,” the company added. 

In short, PepsiCo is winning the ongoing battle against inflation by giving their consumers what they want and adjusting their pricing accordingly. 

“Our results are indicative of the health and resilience of our categories, a diversified portfolio, our broad geographic footprint and out highly motivated and dedicated employees.”
