Organic sales growth of 4.5 % is on top of 8.4 % organic growth in Q2 2020. In the U.S. , we grew consumption in 13 of the 16 categories in which we compete . Our brands experienced double - digit consumption growth in 9 of those 16 categories , including gummy vitamins , cat litter , dry shampoo , and water flossers . Our personal care categories are benefitting from increased consumer mobility . Consumption is far outpacing shipments as supply chain disruptions continue and fill levels are below normal . Our International business , despite many countries still experiencing lockdowns , delivered broad - based organic sales growth of 10.4 % . Global online sales grew 7.2 % ( on top of 77 % growth in Q2 2020 ) and as a percentage of total sales has expanded to 14.2 % in Q2 . " " I'd like to recognize all Church & Dwight employees around the world for their continued dedication to helping us successfully navigate the difficult environment , especially our Supply Chain and R & D teams as the Company continues to face complexities of raw material and labor shortages at our suppliers and third party manufacturers . " " In the second quarter , we experienced shortages of many key raw materials . Labor shortages at suppliers and third party manufacturers and transportation challenges have resulted in supply issues . Shortages of available trucks and drivers for raw and packaging materials such as chemicals have also impacted supply . Due to a lower case fill rate , we pulled back on Q2 marketing for affected products , especially household products . We expect the supply issues to begin to abate in Q4 as we continue our efforts to improve . Significant inflation of material and component costs is impacting our gross margin outlook . We expect higher input costs and transportation costs to remain elevated for the rest of the year . " " Our previously announced pricing actions took effect on June 28 , which included a high single digit increase in laundry . In July , we announced additional price increases in cat litter , laundry performance additives , baking soda ,
