Market Challenges

• The FMCG market in emerging economies, particularly in Asia Pacific (APAC), is experiencing significant growth due to improving economic conditions, urbanization, and increasing health consciousness. This growth is further fueled by the expanding food processing industries in the region. However, challenges persist in providing adequate infrastructure for storing and manufacturing food processing ingredients, such as preservatives, emulsifiers, and enzymes. Proper handling and temperature control are essential to maintain their original properties and prevent contamination. The lack of advanced technologies in the region for producing these ingredients increases costs and hinders market growth. Despite these hurdles, the FMCG market in APAC is expected to continue expanding during the forecast period.
• The FMCG market faces several challenges in today's business landscape. With the rise of food malls and third-party websites, traditional retail channels like supermarkets and hypermarkets, grocery stores, and specialty stores face intense competition. Smartphone users increasingly prefer online shopping for convenience and discounts. Health care, food and beverages, and lifestyle changes drive demand for cleansing products, dual-income families, and health-consciousness. In-house production versus contract-based production, subscription services, and mobile apps are shaping modern retail formats. Price wars among FMCG networks and the proliferation of counterfeit brands pose threats. Raw materials prices, inflation, and economic progress also impact the industry. Consumers seek sustainable, natural, plant-based options, skincare, beauty products, and oral hygiene products. Sustainable and green alternatives are gaining popularity.
