Top CPG Macro Trends for 2023

Direct-to-consumer

Consumer expectations and preference to buy from DTC brands are at an all-time high, with 23% of shoppers claiming DTC channels offer better quality products. And 61% of consumers also believe DTC companies provide the best personalized and engaging digital experiences compared to marketplaces and third-party channels.

Value is a virtue

Shoppers have become more open to private label brands and often prefer these over established brands for many reasons. Without the marketing costs usually put behind branded products, private label brands have the potential to be on-trend, affordable, competitive, and rapidly adopted across major retailers.

Social commerce

Social commerce offers the chance to get specific, ready-to-buy products in front of specific people who would love them, in a way that traditional eCommerce and marketing cannot.”

Wellness

The boundaries of wellness offerings are becoming less distinct as consumers seek products and services that can address needs across several dimensions, such as mental health, fitness, nutrition, and appearance.

Better nutrition labeling spurs reformulation

Manufacturers are likely to start working toward making products that can bear the “healthy” label. The long-awaited pending definition by the FDA could certainly make a huge change in how products are labeled and marketed.

Upcycled products on the rise as industry aims to cut food waste

Consumers are increasingly aware of food waste and swayed by sustainability claims on products. More companies are beginning to use product launches to signal a commitment to lowering the amount of food that does not get sold.

Cultivated meat goes from the lab to the plate

With the FDA very first tacit approval of a cultivated meat product last November, the process commercially available cultivated products will dramatically increase thru 2023
