Q4 2015 | SUMMARY LATAM
#PolarizedFMCG Bolivia and Peru joined in this last quarter to the trend of falling consumption in the region,
while Chile begins to pull away from the group, with one of the highest growths registered in the year.
#LatinosWithCleanHomes Home care is the fastest growing basket in the last quarter. Factors such as a wide
variety of flavorings, uses, options and even price, allows that this category has a consumer dynamic different
from the rest of the baskets.

FMCG consumption throughout the year.

by the deceleration in major economies such as Argentina and especially Brazil. Consumer habits have
affected 2015 showing a growth of FMCG below 2014.
#TheMostImportantAreTheMostAffected Food and Beverages baskets are the most affected by the current
situation in the region, more spaced shopping with higher tickets reveal a more precarious situation for these
baskets.

and Bolivia, despite the economic situation of each country, with good performance in Cleaning categories,
Beauty and Dairy; Peru’s growth is the lightest of all, especially for Beverages.
