The stakes are high in today’s growing U.S. consumer packaged goods (CPG) market. In fact, the industry generates $813 billion USD in annual sales and counting. Despite this growth, NielsenIQ estimates that 27% of all CPG products aren’t aligned with current consumer demand, while another 27% will fail due to a lack of marketing support. Add e-commerce growth into the mix, where the average American shopper is spending over 24% more online than two years ago, and the need for traditional CPG businesses to adapt is urgent.

If you’re a small to midsize CPG manufacturer, you can capitalize on industry growth and steer clear of product fails. But you need to know what’s changing and how to adapt.
