CPG Industry Overview

Over the last century, consumer packaged goods (CPG) giants have invested considerable resources into building brands which are recognized and sought out by consumers. Until recently, this compounding marketing investment has paid rich dividends as these brands have become household names and, more importantly, standard household items. However, new trends in the 21st century have begun to disrupt CPG markets, making the connection between consumers and brands more important and more challenging than ever. 

 CPGs have generally not kept pace with other sectors when it comes to digital modernization. In 2020, a survey found that CPGs were amongst the least digitally advanced companies, when compared with the Banking, Transportation, Travel and Hospitality industries. In a time where competitors are entering the market at a rapid pace, now is the time to address these concerns.

 Sea Cliff Consulting believes that with accurate analysis, seasoned expertise, and the right data and analytic tools, clients in the CPG industry will better understand the changing needs and preferences of their customers in order to garner customer loyalty and sales in a 21st century market.
