off items in the prior year and cost inflation more than offset pricing and cost efficiencies
Slide: Zone Greater China
Turning to Zone Greater China. Organic growth was 4.7%, with pricing of 3.4% and RIG of
1.3%.
Growth was supported by e-commerce momentum and a recovery of out-of-home channels.
The Zone saw market share gains in Pet food and Confectionery.
By product category, Nestlé Professional was the largest growth contributor, supported by
innovation and distribution expansion. Infant Nutrition saw mid single-digit growth, led by NAN
specialty offerings and illuma. Confectionery reported high single-digit growth, led by Hsu Fu
Chi and Shark wafer.
The Zone's underlying trading operating profit margin increased by 160 basis points as
favorable mix and disciplined cost control more than offset cost inflation.
Slide: Nestlé Health Science
Turning next to Nestlé Health Science. The business posted mid-single-digit growth with
pricing of 5.3% and RIG of -1.9%, following extraordinary growth over the last three years
during the pandemic. Our three-year RIG average for the first half was 5.3%.
E-commerce momentum, continued geographic expansion and market share gains supported
growth.
Consumer care reported a sales decrease, with a return to positive growth in the second
quarter. Active nutrition saw low single-digit growth, driven by healthy aging products, Vital
Proteins and Orgain. Vitamins, minerals and supplements saw a sales decrease in the first
half, turning positive in the second quarter based on robust growth for Garden of Life and Pure
Encapsulations. The VMS category is showing signs of returning to growth, and we expect it
to increase further in the second half.
Medical Nutrition recorded double-digit growth, with strong sales developments for acute
medical care, pediatric and allergy products.
