In 2016 FMCG M&A plummeted, down $176bn on the previous year, as political uncertainty depressed deal-making in the sector. Overall revenue growth for the Global 50 turned negative for the first time in 13 years (-0.7%).
Underlying organic volume growth also remained at near record lows, at just 0.7%, up slightly from 2015’s 0.5%, but still below global population growth of 1.1%. And this at a time when there is increasing pressure from activist investors to boost margins.
