Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended January 31, 2026.

Procter & Gamble continues to focus on innovation, not price, to drive growth in its baby care segment, a strategy that is helping it grow its business in Greater China, despite record-low births and a fertility rate that is among the lowest in the world. To cater to Chinese parents willing to spend top dollar on high-end baby care products, P&G has incorporated genuine silk, a raw material long valued in Chinese culture for luxury and prestige, into a new ultra-premium Pampers product.

Meanwhile, the management of Kelheim Fibres GmbH has announced that all business activities and operations will be terminated, effective March 31, 2026. The decision comes after several efforts within the framework of the self-administration did not lead to a positive outcome, and a potential strategic investor withdrew at short notice. Independent of this, despite the support of a large proportion of customers and restructuring measures already implemented, it was not possible to achieve sufficient off-take volumes that would have been required for an economically viable continuation of business operations. This also included the absence of orders from a key customer.

Here are our top 3 most-viewed stories from the past week:
