Historical trends during CPI recovery periods show that the beer sector generally benefits from expanded gross sales margins and improved profitability [5][45]. Consumer Goods - As cost advantages diminish, there is an increasing focus on companies with strong price transmission capabilities in the consumer goods sector.
