Disrupting The CPG Industry

  • August 21, 2018
  • August 21, 2018

Led by Managing Intelligence Analyst Zoe Leavitt

Investors have poured $13.6B into CPG startups since 2014, propelling high-momentum startups like Brandless, Hims, Glossier, and Beyond Meat into the mainstream. Meanwhile, incumbent leaders P&G, Kellogg’s, L’Oreal, and others are reacting by launching venture capital funds, partnering with startup incubators, revamping old product lines, and more. And of course, everyone is watching Amazon.

In this live briefing, we explore:

  • The go-to-market strategies of emerging food and personal care startups
  • Ingredient and labeling trends to watch
  • Where CPG corporates are placing their bets
  • The impact of Amazon and other big tech players on CPG strategy
  • How IoT, voice, AI, and other emerging technologies will shape the future of CPG distribution
