Trick or Treat: The Business of Halloween Supply Chain

Trick or Treat: The Business of Halloween Supply Chain

Welcome, ghouls and goblins, to a hauntingly good episode of Supply Chain Now!

Join us as Scott Luton and Mike Griswold reveal this year’s Halloween craze, with imports of spooky goods up by a spine-tingling 18.6%. Consumers are splurging on yard skeletons and inflatables, while costume sales see a surprising dip. Then, brace yourself for the “Global Chocolate Crisis”—a bitter reality as cocoa prices skyrocket due to aging trees and tricky weather. Finally, Walmart and Unilever team up to use real-time data magic, boosting shelf availability and customer satisfaction.

So grab your cauldron of candy and join us for this eerie and insightful journey through the Halloween supply chain—if you dare!
