McCormick Battles Tariff Turmoil With A New Diversification Strategy But Will It Work?

McCormick & Company recently presented their results for the first quarter of 2025. The report indicated mixed outcomes, with organic sales showing modest growth and some challenges in profitability. The company’s total organic sales grew by 2%, primarily driven by volume and product mix growth. The Global Consumer segment saw a volume-led organic sales increase of 1%, while Global Flavor Solutions experienced a 3% organic sales growth, also volume-driven. McCormick & Company has continued to invest in brand marketing and innovation to support this growth, particularly in the Consumer segment. However, price declines were noted due to targeted promotional activities and pricing strategies, especially in the Americas where price gap management had an effect.
