Optimism in the Air at Ambiente 2023
Ambiente - the leading international consumer goods trade fair – returned to Frankfurt this year after a 3-year pause due to COVID-19. Baird’s Household Products team was thrilled to be back in Germany, and encouraged by the overwhelming optimism from exhibitors throughout the 4-day show. A few of the team’s key takeaways from Ambiente include:
 |
Palpable energy across the grounds – with most exhibitors cautiously optimistic for 2023 |
 |
2022’s challenges (e.g., supply chain costs, retailer inventories) are largely in the rear-view mirror |
 |
Momentum beginning in Q4 2022 has many poised to return to growth in 2023 |
 |
Consumers have proven resilient and continue investing across a wide range of household product categories |
 |
'Newness,’ design & innovation continue to win the day with retail buyers |
