Industry overview
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) form one of the largest industries worldwide. From our morning showers with a jojoba shampoo to our oats and fruit breakfast, or office outings at a local pub or snacks at a street vendor – our worlds spin around consumer goods.
The industry today is constantly being disrupted by ever-changing consumer preferences and new technologies. Customers demand innovative products, which means producing a wider range of goods at higher volumes quickly. In developing markets, consumers are also spending more, which raises the call for an expanded supply chain.
According to Allied Market Research, the global FMCG market is predicted to reach $15,361.8 billion by 2025, growing at an incredible 5.4% in the next five years. New avenues providing greater business opportunities. Research from Statista also shows that eCommerce is growing faster than traditional brick and mortar stores every year. Consumers are demanding new product offerings such as healthier and sustainable products, and this is expected to open new roads for FMCG players.

Breaking down the layers of Party Logistics
As the debate between the different “PL” or party logistics continues, it may often get confusing to differentiate the various levels. Outsourcing logistics operations is essential for FMCG companies. An-in-house logistics department may be cost-effective but takes away time and focus from your main priority – your business.
The right PL can help simplify your supply chain, lower costs and overcome coordination and visibility challenges. Here, we are taking the example of a dairy producer, Jake, to see how the different PLs impact his supply chain:
Overcoming the hiccups of a new partnership
The right logistics partnership can do wonders, not just for a supply chain but also for the teething problems of a new joint venture. See how we joined hands with an Early Life Nutrition brand to make sure that their new business found a strong foothold in the Asia Pacific right from the get-go.
