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.
Rising raw material costs and supply chain disruptions further complicate matters for FMCG leaders who are scrambling to suit shoppers’ needs.
As shopper behaviors change, brands must adapt – or risk losing out to the competition.
