FMCG Manufacturing

Meeting changing consumer demand. Expand, Adapt, Adopt: technology and strategy for change

Customer expectations are ever growing. And with demand escalating daily, how can you continue to deliver to your stakeholders’ needs? Cross-sector insights and strategic thinking will unlock a sustainable future.

Changes in consumer demand and behaviour are driving transformations in the global FMCG industry. Product manufacturers are expanding into new countries, adapting to changing patterns of demand, reducing their time-to-market and adopting new technologies to support their strategies.

New solutions are helping FMCG manufacturers manage risk, remain competitive and future proof their investments. Supply chain planning, efficient production strategies and sustainable manufacturing are all part of the mix.

Expand: responding to global growth in consumption
The global middle-class population is expanding at an unprecedented rate. FMCG manufacturing companies are investing to meet the growing demand. Markets can be unpredictable, so operations need to be flexible, which means manufacturing engineering, supply chain planning and time-to-market will become even more important.
Adapt: meeting demand as consumer behaviour changes
Megatrends in consumer behaviour are driving FMCG product manufacturers to change their business models. These include: customisation of products, e-commerce, health and wellness and sustainable manufacturing. For FMCG manufacturers such trends require changes in FMCG and food production, supply chain planning, and thus innovation for agile supply chains.
Adopt: implementing new technologies to stay ahead
Intensifying competition, and the continuous need for cost efficiency means FMCG manufacturing companies must adopt and embrace new technologies. Strategic goals form the basis of investing in technology. In practice, digital technologies not only improve production development and time-to-market, they are helping with managing existing factories as well. Assessi, our fast plant assessment tool, enables automated assessments of manufacturing sites, equipment and facilities by analysing data quickly.
