The consumer packaged goods (CPG) business is being shaken by indicators of a recession, dwindling customer confidence, and rising costs. For manufacturers to stay relevant and seize new market opportunities through technology and innovative working practises, they must adopt a reinvention strategy.
With five new CPG businesses starting up each week, change is knocking on our door. Additionally, in light of industrial pressures, customers now anticipate businesses to take account of their evolving living, working, and leisure needs.
In place of a brand-led strategy, CPGs are beginning to view consumers as unique people who want to design and own the brands they interact with, introducing complexity, contradictions, and unpredictable shifts. To overcome this situation, CPGs must embrace 360° value in order to build companies that are data-driven, human-led, and future-ready.
Long-term, sustainable value will be produced by businesses that can rethink their customer products, reengineer themselves, and dominate emerging capabilities. In this paper, CPGs can learn more about the 12 traits and 5 guiding concepts they must develop to become future-proof CPGs.
The CPG sector is currently going through the most significant consumer and customer relationship changes and channel proliferation to date. According to our research, 92% of consumers currently use digital media.
CPGs are now reevaluating how they use digital to influence the future of commerce in light of this upheaval. The online-offline dichotomy is no longer applicable; instead, it's about becoming digital from the inside out and offering a consistent brand experience across all pertinent channels.
What CPG leaders are doing differently to run as a digital business and expand digital commerce is described by Accenture.
CPG companies must adopt a comprehensive strategy in order to fully profit from cloud technology. A staggering 48% of those in the sector haven't gone down this path, which limits the benefits of their journey.
In their cloud transformations, CPGs are dividing into two archetypes: leaders and followers. Leaders are nimble businesses with strong data and analytics skills that use granular insights to predict and react to customer needs. On the other hand, followers lag behind because their leaders never completely migrated to or utilised this technology because they only saw cloud as a means of cost reduction.
Our paper outlines the three obstacles that prevent CPG companies from fully utilising cloud technology and suggests solutions to avoid falling behind.
Two years after the disruption, two out of every three consumers have experienced financial constraints, and their confidence is lower than it was before the pandemic.Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies must come up with fresh techniques to keep up with the always evolving consumer due to virtual ways of living, shifting priorities, and new perspectives on sustainability.
Rethinking talent, procedures, and technology will help brands overcome these obstacles and better grasp the emerging consumer expectations.
As our analysis demonstrates, in this dynamic environment, new opportunities will arise from a strategy fueled by market-leading innovation, fresh leadership abilities, empathy, and human-centered design.
