This theme covers consumer staples: the companies behind the groceries, drinks, snacks, cleaning supplies, paper goods and personal-care items people buy week after week, plus the big-box and grocery retailers that sell them. Consumer staples ETFs add broad exposure. Demand for these products tends to hold up in most economic conditions, so the group is often seen as defensive, though companies still face input costs, store-brand competition and changing habits.
