Pet care is one of the most resilient CPG categories: inelastic demand, premiumisation, and strong repeat purchase behavior.

We’ve just published a new analysis of the private equity firms actively acquiring in pet products, focusing on majority/control deals in branded consumer businesses.

That the state accused of genocide and starvation is left in charge of “distributing aid” is ludicrous and obscene: an insult to human decency. Calling this “humanitarian” is humanitarian camouflage.
Mediterranean states must act:
Send aid by sea.
Break the siege.
This is how you begin to end a genocide.

Now is a great time to be an acquirer in CPG. Very good businesses are trading at reasonable multiples. Only truly exceptional brands are trading at high multiples. While most CPG investors continue to sit on their hands, a few are setting themselves up to make a killing.

The strong returns generated by smart investors in 2024-25 will contribute to the recovery of the sector over the coming years. CPG brands will be more attractive again once people see the returns.

In the meantime, now is a good time to invest.
