Germany's Consumer Products Digest

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Sugar Tax: Germany’s cabinet has approved a levy on sugary drinks from July 2027, pending Bundestag approval. Rates would start at €0.26 per litre for drinks with at least 5g of sugar per 100ml, giving manufacturers an incentive to reformulate. Beauty Deals: Henkel has completed its $1.4 billion acquisition of US skincare brand Olaplex, expanding the German consumer-goods group’s beauty business. Price Pressures: Wholesale inflation reached 8.7% in September, its highest since February 2023, while consumer inflation climbed to 3.3% as fuel prices rose—adding pressure as Germany’s recovery slows. Car Buyer Clarity: Tesla has dropped its “Full Self-Driving” name in Europe after German authorities called it misleading, replacing it with “Assisted Driving.”
