Key Highlights

• The Americas region is projected to post a moderate value CAGR of 3.6%, while volume growth will remain low at a 1.2% CAGR. The region's maturity and market saturation continue to constrain volume expansion. As food-price inflation eases, manufacturers can no longer depend on pricing to elevate revenues, which will further moderate value growth. At the same time, sustained cost-of-living pressures are prompting consumers to spend more cautiously, reducing discretionary purchases and increasing the shift toward value-focused options.
