Consumer Goods and Retail

A variety of trends are dramatically altering consumer product businesses:

  • Rising health awareness, and shift to organic
  • e-commerce disruption
  • Online and personalized advertising
  • Better educated consumers
  • Rising intensity of competition
  • Retail consolidation

These challenges also present significant opportunities, as spending power continues to grow – especially in emerging markets.
ValueNotes has considerable experience in assessing competitor and channel intelligence, that we use to help answer critical questions such as:

  • What is my competitors’ go-to-market or distribution strategy?
  • How do dealers and distributors influence sales, and how do they treat my brands?
  • How do brand preferences vary across channels?
  • Assess challenges from new entrants?
  • How will e-commerce affect my margins?

 

We’ve studied numerous sub-markets including beverages, breweries & microbreweries, ice creams, probiotic & prebiotic supplements, processed / ready-to-eat foods, almonds, dairy products, confectioneries, poultry, abattoirs, air conditioners, tissue paper, cosmetics, etc
