Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)

Learn about the latest trends in FMCG: which segments are buying what, why, on which channels, and where

A changing industry

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is facing numerous concerns. Different forces are changing the buying preferences of all shoppers in these turbulent times: budget, safety, and energy concerns are competing with health and sustainability. From a channel perspective, e-grocery value share continues to grow and has doubled in Europe over the last two years.
