Nova Realidade Covid-19 após 1 ano
■ Opportunities and Challenges
Challenges:
⚫ Food and Pharma Retail: The search for essential items even generated price increases, which led the segment to reduce
promotions. With the gradual reopening of stores in malls, this segment returned to normal faster than the others, which makes
it stronger. The reduction in purchasing power remains a concern.
• Online retail: Tremendous acceleration of the digital channel, with new entrants every day. Urban logistics and cybersecurity
advanced, but at a slower pace.
• Retail - Other Segments and Food Service: It was the most affected by the closing of stores, which forced the segment to
follow a path of accelerated adoption of digital to continue with its business, strongly encouraged by promotions. With many
people at home, the home became the new center of coexistence, which ended up boosting the consumption of electronics,
construction and decoration materials, making these segments stand out, coming out of the crisis stronger and more digitalized.
⚫ Food and Beverage / Hygiene: Consumption in homes was not enough to compensate for the loss of revenue with the closing
of restaurants and bars. Conscious and healthier consumption habits have led to changes in the portfolio and portion sizes. To
mitigate risks, alternative sources for imported raw materials were developed.
• Consumer Goods - Cyclic: Adjustments were made at the beginning of the crisis, in which a less optimistic scenario was
planned. The recovery was better than expected, even leading to a shortage of raw materials, making it necessary for companies
to replan their strategy. It advanced the development of local suppliers, as well as positive actions to face the crisis on behalf
of society.
• Consumer Goods - Non-Cyclic: With the focus of consumers on essential products, it was one of the segment that worked
very hard on pricing and promotion strategies to encourage sales.
