HRG’s five notable products from May 2023
Product introductions fell sharply in May amid renewed concerns about the economic climate over the next year. Though inflation fell for the ninth straight period in April, for the month of May suppliers introduced only 89 products, which is half of the 178 new items they released in the previous month.
Waukesha, Wis.-based HRG reviewed nine products in the health category, 48 in the wellness sector and 32 items in the beauty aisle to see which ones stood out as Products to Watch. Here is what they found:
