Navigating Economic Uncertainty

In today’s shifting economy, businesses face mounting pressure to adapt to new consumer behaviours. Recent research by McKinsey & Company shows that economic uncertainty has led to a notable shift in spending habits. Consumers are increasingly choosing private-label brands, valuing affordability without compromising quality​. Businesses must follow suit, finding innovative ways to remain competitive while controlling costs.

For companies looking to expand, this consumer trend offers a critical takeaway: delivering value without sacrificing quality is essential, especially in uncertain times. MEBÚ steps in here, providing outsourced business development services that allow brands to grow efficiently and sustainably.

What the Shift in Consumer Spending Means for Businesses

McKinsey’s research reveals that over 60% of consumers now see private-label products as equal to or better than branded ones​.

This reflects a broader strategy for businesses: reducing costs while maintaining or enhancing quality. For businesses, outsourcing non-core functions like business development is a smart way to achieve this balance.
