US, Japan and UK followed by Brazil in 4th place for new product introductions.

That’s a lot of packages. The United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom topped the list of countries introducing new products. Interestingly enough, Brazil ranked in 4th place, “…with companies like Unilever, Carrefour, Nestlé, Avon, Wal-Mart and Kraft Foods launching the bulk of the Brazilian novelties.”
