The Cotton Farming industry has experienced extremely volatile operating conditions over the past five years. COVID-19 caused states and localities to enact quarantines, reducing consumer spending and demand for products made by textile mills and clothing manufacturers. Since these industries are critical cotton buyers, the pandemic caused industry revenue to decline. Plunging cotton prices worsened the industry's performance, as they reduced the value of sales. Surging commodity prices immediately following the pandemic contributed to a partial resurgence, but they also made substitutes more attractive. Trade wars and an appreciating dollar caused exports to fall. Since exports constitute a significant source... Learn More

Frozen food producers have expanded through the end of 2023 as boosting disposable income has allowed consumers to trade up to newer, healthier and premium varieties of goods that command higher retail prices. With more money to spend, some consumers have opted for fresh produce over frozen varieties, stifling expansion. Mounting health concerns have also led some consumers to purchase fewer frozen foods, which are often perceived as less healthy than fresher meals, despite new studies indicating otherwise. Frozen food producers have responded by introducing products with healthier, more nutritious ingredients. Frozen food producer revenue will climb at a CAGR... Learn More

Shipbuilders design, build and repair ships and other vessels for military and commercial clients. Long project lead times, primarily for defense contracts, have led to a consistent flow of revenue, keeping shipyards busy with work. Defense budgets are set in advance and have increased yearly because of rising geopolitical tensions.
Shipbuilders are protected from foreign competition through protectionist policies like the Jones Act, which prohibits using foreign-built vessels on routes between US ports. While some military shipbuilders receive contracts from foreign countries, commercial shipbuilding is mainly domestic. An increase in US oil and gas production throughout the period has provided a...

Cut and sew apparel manufacturers produce apparel from purchased fabrics. The industry is in a state of long-term decline, as low levels of domestic product innovation and a falling number of manufacturers have caused revenue to drop. Many producers have offshored manufacturing capabilities to countries with lower wage requirements, further enhancing import penetration and harming domestic producers. The intense price competition from imports produced in developing countries where labor costs are substantially lower has pushed domestic manufacturers to compete based on quality, shifting their product mix from low-cost apparel to premium clothing. The high import competition and growing price pressures... Learn More

Wineries struggled to maintain consistent growth, with the pandemic helping and hindering. Nonessential business closures limited tasting rooms or on-site bars and reduced sales to restaurants and other on-premise markets. Even at the retail level, some price-conscious consumers opted for relatively less expensive products like beer in place of wine. When restaurants and other on-premise locations reopened, wine sales boomed, reversing a years' long declining trend. Revenue has increased at a CAGR of 0.9% to $26.1 billion through 2023, despite a 3.4% decline in 2023 alone.
For a winery, competition is stiff. The number of wineries is almost always increasing. Plus,... Learn More

The rise of hard seltzers and canned cocktails encroached on cider sales as younger drinkers sought new flavors. During the pandemic, cider producers benefited from their dependence on off-premise sales channels as alcohol retail sales soared. A slow shift in market share concentration from a single large-scale producer to many local cideries has contributed to a stagnation in the Cider Production industry's growth as craft cideries have sought to find their...
