Company-compiled estimates project a turnover of 13.09 billion euros, or roughly 14.63 billion dollars. The growth split is expected to be nearly even, with 2.5% coming from volume increases and 2.3% from pricing adjustments.

Barclays analyst Warren Ackerman points to the home care segment as a potential anchor for performance, though headwinds remain in the food division. Industry data suggests softening demand for Knorr products in Europe and condiments in the United States. Furthermore, David Hayes of Jefferies highlights the inherent complexity of Unilever’s broader plans to exit its food business, which continues to pose a strategic challenge for the company’s leadership.
