Marmite and Dove maker forecasts cost inflation of £3bn for coming year and rules out more big deals
Marmite to Dove maker Unilever has signalled that further price rises are ahead for shoppers as it forecast its own input costs will rise as much as €3.5bn (£3bn) this year.
The FTSE 100 consumer goods company said that after significant supply chain cost inflation last year it expected a further increase in the price of raw materials, freight and packaging in 2022, which was ultimately likely to result in consumers paying more for its products in supermarkets and other retail outlets.
