RECEIPT #MARK-R
FEB 04, 2026
PREDICTION BY
Mark Ritson“Mark’s newly coined ‘maximiniflation’ refers to something he predicts will cause much more consumer anger in 2026.”
FOLLOW-UP
The phenomenon of maximiniflation (reduced product sizes with quiet price increases) is clearly observable, and public, media, and regulatory attention, along with consumer anger, appears to be growing. However, because the prediction is for 'consumer anger in 2026' and the year is still in progress (as of mid-2026), the final outcome cannot yet be definitively scored.
