With the increased frequency of regional and global disruption, consumers have become more fluid and shifted how they make purchase decisions. They have placed increased emphasis on experiences, particularly those that improve their life. This, balanced with affordability concerns as well as preferences for sustainable, transparent and local goods, creates greater focus on the value retailers and consumer goods companies provide. No matter the sector – food & beverage, apparel, health and personal care, etc. – all companies are experiencing the impact of a consumer-centric marketplace, more highly connected ecosystems and planet-friendly priorities. The retail and consumer goods companies that lead on addressing the disruptions will shape our future industry.
