The amount spent by households with non-durable goods such as food, beverages and personal care products, rose 19% in the first half of this year, according to research firm LatinPanel. The volume of consumption of such products grew 14% from January to June 2009, according to the same survey.
The increase in purchases of this type of product compared to 2008 is explained mainly by the high inflation last year, which hurt the consumer, according to LatinPanel. For the company, inflation in 2008 hurt the consumer more than the economic crisis this year.
The research analyzes product areas, divided by type. All baskets have grown in volume consumed in the first half, especially food basket which grew 15%. The volume of the basket of cleaning products rose 13%, the beverage, 8%, and hygiene, 6%.
For LatinPanel, the data also reflect that consumers are buying more products for consumption at home, since they are giving up or delaying the purchase of durable goods.
According to the survey, consumers in class D are consuming more types of products, the total rose from 22 January to June 2008 to 27 in 2009. Since Class C from 32 to 33 products, while classes A and B were stable.
The LatinPanel monitors the consumption of 8,200 households in the country, which, according to the company, represents 90% of the potential of Brazilian consumption
