Six months after our 2023 Food and Beverage Report was published, we look at how food and beverage manufacturers have performed this year, provide forecasts for the remainder of 2023 and early 2024, and highlight trends to watch moving forward.

What we’ve seen so far in 2023:

• Sales for the first half of 2023 were steady
• Much of the sales growth has been driven by higher prices
• Food and manufacturing margins are looking to be lower
• Job vacancy rates in key food sectors are declining
• Spending on foodservices returned to pre-pandemic levels
• Exports are still strong, though lower than the last two years
