Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict in Consumer Goods Thematic Overview
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had significant impact on all industries including consumer goods. The initial shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine sent energy prices rocketing, and there was a sudden lack of availability of raw materials and staple crops. This pushed up the cost of living for many consumers around the world. The subsequent sanctions against Russia by many Western economies, including sanctions that restrict flight paths and international shipping, have been met with retaliation from Moscow.
Consumers in rich economies have been sympathetic towards the plight of Ukrainians, and took to social media to demand that global brands stop selling (and making profits) in the Russian market. They led campaigns to stop buying Russian-made goods as well. However, many factors have impacted brands differently, depending on their exposure to various supply chains, the location of their factories compared to their markets, whether the company is publicly or privately held, and the geographic location of their biggest markets.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict in Consumer Goods – Key Trends
The main trends shaping the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine over the next 12 to 24 months are classified into raw materials trends, transportation trends, regulatory trends, and social media trends.
- Raw materials trends: The Russian invasion has disrupted staple crop production and rare gas supply. Russia also banned wood exports to the US and the EU until the end of 2022. Sanctions affecting sources of fertilizer and gas have affected the production and international trade of fertilizers as well.
- Transportation trends: Many shipping companies are no longer docking in the Russian and Ukrainian ports due to customs checks on all imports and exports from Russia. Furthermore, the Russian closure of airspace to the European operators impacts the transport of consumer goods by commercial aircraft to and from the European countries.
- Regulatory trends: Sanctions, boycotts, and a ban on Russian banks by the EU are part of the regulatory trends.
- Social media trends: Boycott of Russian products, halting of trade in Russia by renowned brands, and reviewing of all media and marketing investments in Russia are some of the social media trends.
Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict in Consumer Goods - Value Chain Analysis
The value chain impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine consists of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, and trading impact.
Raw Materials: Russia’s options remaining for negotiating with the western nations are valuable raw materials such as oil and gas, aluminum, nickel, and precursors for fertilizer such as potash and phosphates. These materials substantially alter the potential costs of transport and production, as well as the harvest yield. Hence, they have the potential to cause extreme price inflation. The cost-of-living crisis is beginning to have far-reaching economic and human effects on global households, with the poorest feeling the pinch. Moreover, energy prices are set to increase by more than 50%, which will likewise push up the cost of producing raw materials, as well as manufacturing and distribution.

Key Highlights
- The availability of raw materials, difficulty with transport, political sanctions, and consumer-led boycotts have substantially changed how global brands operate.
- The supply of staple crops is already bound to be impacted next year, as it is unlikely that a sufficient level of planting for next year’s harvest will take place this year.

- PepsiCo is set to be heavily impacted negatively by the Russian invasion of Ukraine because of its manufacturing and market trends.
