Top CPG Macro Trends for 2021
Retail in 2021: Brands have to work even harder to win the digital shelf
CPG brands are finding new audiences online, as consumers are more willing to try something new when demand is so high. CPG companies will have to up their game dramatically when it comes to personalization and promotions, if they want to stand out on an increasingly crowded digital shelf.
Health & Wellness
COVID-19 is having a lasting impact on the consumer goods (CPG) industry with re-energized focus on consumers health and wellbeing. Consumers are looking for holistic options to be healthy, requiring CPGs to partner in new ways with technology and health companies.
CPG retail brands zero in on sustainability
Today’s consumers — particularly millennials and Generation Z — are demanding that brands take sustainability seriously. That includes reducing the use of plastic packaging; better product labeling to highlight recycling; developing biodegradable options and the sustainable use of water
Plant-Based Everything
Sales of plant-based food grew by double digits and at five times the rate of total food sales in the past year, with continued growth expected.
Rise of Private Brands
The private brands market, which represented almost one in five consumer packaged goods dollars sold last year, will continue to grow.
Buying Local Continues
With consumers becoming increasingly aware that locally sourced food will be fresher, support regional economies and generate fewer carbon emissions, retailers will need to differentiate their assortment at the local market level to entice customers.
