# Capture alpha from emerging-market consumer trends before the street does

MULTI STRATEGY – EQUITIES – CONSUMER GOODS

### In consumer equities, waiting for earnings calls means missing the move. Leading investment teams leverage timely data on EM demand – spotting margin compression, pricing resilience and other trends before they’re priced in by the market.

CEIC’s high-frequency, locally sourced datasets across China, India, Brazil, and Indonesia anticipate the consumption dynamics reshaping global investments. 

Why top investors choose CEIC:

- ***Get ahead of inflection points***

Track granular consumption trends across retail categories such as electronics, apparel, home goods and personal care using 20,000+ high-frequency time series. Daily merchant sales data from 60,000+ sources reveal subnational momentum shifts weeks ahead of official data or earnings commentary.

- ***Stress-test margins across categories and markets***

Monitor timely changes in key input costs –  from packaging and edible oils to freight and logistics. Track inventory swings and supply-chain disruptions to forecast margin compression (or recovery) before it’s priced in.

- ***Position early on structural consumption trends***

Identify consumption trends with global e-commerce data. Leverage CEIC’s employment, income, and mobility datasets to see where growth is accelerating and which product categories are gaining durable share.

- ***Turn macro noise into category-level conviction***

Link top-down macro shifts in credit cycles, CPI, employment, and sentiment to bottom-up demand across consumer sectors. CEIC connects macro volatility to tradable signals for equity fundamental and quantitative strategies.

- ***Anticipate supply chain shifts***

From reshoring and trade pivots to ESG pressures and working capital risks, CEIC shows how global sourcing shifts are impacting consumer goods. Move early on cost-base changes that will surface later in earnings guidance.
