#1 In EuropeRevenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 5.4% over the five years through 2024. Volatile demand conditions and fluctuations in input prices have had mixed impacts on revenue and contributed to revenue volatility. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, natural gas prices soared. Manufacturers were initially forced to absorb these costs at the expense of profitability, producers were later able to pass these costs onto customers, supporting revenue and giving some respite for bottom lines. As well as rising input prices, supply chain disruptions led to a fertiliser shortage, driving prices upwards.
