Snack food agents also noted that during the reporting period, Nestle’s e-commerce sales soared by 47.6%, accounting for 12.3% of Nestle group’s total sales. “Coffee, Purina pet food, nutrition and health science were all the main drivers of growth, with all other categories maintaining strong momentum.” According to the circular.

Reuters noted that nestle today raised its forecast for organic sales growth in 2020 (the previous target was 2% – 3%), and pointed out that the third quarter’s performance exceeded market expectations. Nestle’s response to the new outbreak has been better than that of its peers, thanks to its extensive product mix, which offsets the decline in food and beverage consumption in restaurants, coffee shops and other occasions, Reuters said.
Today, Mr. Peng believes that Nestle’s performance has benefited from people spending more at home, and they have chosen more famous brands, such as using Starbucks capsules operated by Nestle on espresso coffee machines. In addition, some analysts believe that as more people keep pets during the epidemic, this has led to the growth of pet food.
