Although most businesses have some type of digital transformation initiative in place, many are still unprepared to deal with rapid change. In the case of the consumer products – food industry, the current situation is forcing manufacturers to deal with several challenges that can also become opportunities for future growth.

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) have always been essential to our daily lives, but during the pandemic they took on heightened importance. Panic buying led to empty shelves, while quickly changing guidelines from government officials sowed confusion for production and delivery processes. It was truly an eye-opening time for many consumer products companies, as they quickly learned what they were doing well and areas where they were not so well equipped to keep up with the turmoil.
As a result, many CPG companies shifted their focus to core business areas such as manufacturing and distribution. With consumer goods flying off the shelves, these companies needed to ramp up production facilities to run 24/7, with the ability to adjust production lines and schedules in a more agile fashion. However, some found they lacked the capabilities to support expanded production or the agility to adjust to increased market demand.
Based on this experience, consumer products companies are changing their outlook in terms of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. One thing is certain: it is unlikely that there will be a return to what was once considered normal. The challenge will be understanding and adapting to the requirements and opportunities for the next growth stage.
