DEMAND for food and personal care items sold in sari-sari stores is expected to increase in areas recently battered by typhoon “Karding” , but priorities of consumers will change depending on available supplies, according to a data analytics platform provider.
“This time around, with Karding, it might be a bit different—especially with Polillo Island—as they may have been cut off to proper logistics that can replenish their inventory,” he noted. “However, for the other parts of the country that were hit by the storm and have easier access to supply replenishment [like Bulacan], personal care items may likely still be the number one category post-disaster,” he added.BASED on results of the new study of Packworks that were released last September 23, affected residents by the above-cited three calamities prior to Karding cared most about their crowning glory as they bought more shampoo and conditioner in their respective community stores.
After the onslaught of Odette late last year, hair care necessities took only 11 percent of the average consumer spending, trailing behind noodles and cooking essentials that grew by almost 60 percent, as well as pasta at 15 percent.
