Industry in transition
What are the current challenges facing the food & beverage industry?
The industry is under massive pressure to change: rising raw material, energy and logistics costs, supply chain problems, regulatory requirements (e.g. Packaging Act, Nutri-Score, carbon footprinting) and changing consumer needs are leading to structural challenges. The trend towards health, sustainability, regionality and plant-based products is fundamentally changing demand, product development and brand management. At the same time, inflation and consumer restraint are making price and volume growth more difficult.
Strategies for the future
What is the current need for adjustment and optimization?
In order to remain competitive in a dynamic and cost-intensive market, companies need to work consistently on several levers:
- Reconsideration of product development and brand management:
The demand for clean label products, alternative proteins and sustainable packaging requires fast innovation processes as well as fine-tuned brand and portfolio management in line with changing consumer trends. - Streamlining production and supply chains:
Flexibility, automation and transparency in the supply chain are crucial in order to be able to react to short-term fluctuations in sales, scarce raw materials and legal requirements. - Ensuring cost leadership:
Margins are under pressure – which is why efficiency programs in the areas of purchasing, production, logistics and administration are becoming increasingly important. Lean approaches, OEE optimization and digitally supported maintenance are critical to success. - Using digitalization for control:
From the store floor to the point of sale, digital technologies open up new potential for sales forecasting, production planning and traceability. Companies need to expand their data expertise in a targeted manner. - Differentiated control of global positioning:
Export markets, international availability of raw materials and regional brand strategies must be coordinated and strategically balanced in order to remain resilient and competitive.
