The natural products industry is currently navigating a "Great Recalibration." With sourcing costs rising and capital markets tightening, the path to 2026 requires more than just a great product—it requires a masterful grasp of unit economics and regulatory shifts.

Join Naturally Network on January 28 at 1 PM CT for a transparent, data-driven update on the state of the industry. We’re moving past the hype to discuss how the industry is actually navigating thin margins, shifting retail expectations, and the complex regulatory landscape.

What We’ll Tackle:

Part 1: Retail Reality & The Modern Consumer

  • Managing the Margin Squeeze: A candid look at how brands are balancing rising input costs with consumer price sensitivity. We’ll discuss where to find efficiencies when "raising prices" isn't an option.

  • Velocity Over Everything: Why retailers are prioritizing consistent turnover and supply chain reliability over "the next big thing."

  • The 2026 Trend Cycle: From the evolution of "clean" to the impact of the GLP-1 economy on the natural grocery basket.

Part 2: Capital, Policy, and the Path Forward

  • The Pragmatic Capital Raise: What "investable" looks like in 2025. We’ll discuss the shift from "growth at all costs" to sustainable, slow-burn scaling.

  • The Regulatory Horizon: A briefing on the legislative changes (from labeling to packaging) that will impact your 2026 planning.

  • Building for Resilience: Identifying the specific headwinds—from logistics to labor—and the actionable strategies brands are using to weather the storm.
