Unpacking 2025 Price Cuts and Online Sales Shifts
As cost-of-living pressures grow, Australia’s top supermarkets—Coles and Woolworths—have rolled out major price cuts on essential items. But while the savings are real, public reaction has been mixed. Shoppers remain skeptical, citing past price-gouging claims and distrust of promotional tactics. This piece explores why the cuts were made, how consumers are responding, and what other retailers can learn. Using Via pricing data, we highlight where price shifts are occurring and how they compare across markets. The key takeaway: cutting prices isn't just a financial decision—it’s a trust strategy. And unless backed by transparency and long-term consistency, even the best intentions may fall flat.

How Businesses Can Thrive by Creating Sustainable Value
Sustainable value creation is the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into business core strategy to create long-term value. This is especially important in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, where market volatility and geopolitical complexity have the potential to impact consumer behaviour and operational resilience.
