As a consumer goods company, demand for many of Procter & Gamble's products tends to be relatively stable even during economic downturns. There can be some seasonality in demand for specific product categories, such as a "down tick" in stock performance during P&G's Q1 fiscal year. Fabric Care and Baby Care have faced challenges, while Beauty and Grooming have shown strong performance. P&G has observed some consumers shifting towards store-branded alternatives, which has impacted product volume in certain segments, but the company is countering this with pricing and mix effects. There is also a trend of consumers moving to larger pack sizes when shopping in club stores and online.
