Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies face unprecedented challenges in 2025, from volatile supply chains to shifting consumer preferences. Advanced cpg analytics solutions have become essential for brands seeking to optimize operations, drive growth, and maintain competitive advantage. 

With global CPG retail sales $7.5 trillion in 2024, and 71% of CPG leaders adopting AI in at least one business function, the industry is rapidly evolving toward intelligent, analytics-driven operations. Our proven methodologies help consumer goods companies unlock the full potential of their data to drive profitable growth.

Why CPG Analytics Matter More Than Ever in 2025

The consumer packaged goods landscape has fundamentally shifted. Companies using advanced analytics consistently achieve 12% lower cost of goods sold ratios compared to non-users, while those relying on outdated approaches struggle to compete. Today’s CPG data analytics requirements extend far beyond traditional reporting.

Key Industry Challenges:

  • Supply Chain Volatility: Commodity prices remain 20–40% above 2019 levels, with climate change affecting 85% of major food commodities
  • Consumer Fragmentation: Rapid shifts in purchasing behavior that traditionally took 2–3 years now occur in 2–3 months
  • Digital Acceleration: E-commerce is forecasted to constitute 41% of global retail sales by 2027
  • Sustainability Pressure: Products marketed as sustainable are growing 6x faster than conventionally marketed products

Our data analytics consulting services address these challenges through sophisticated CPG analytics platforms that integrate seamlessly with existing operations.
