The report discusses the challenges faced by fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) procurement managers, particularly in terms of supply chain resilience. The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerabilities within supply chains, with empty shelves and increased food stockpiling. The rise of protectionism and geopolitical instability, along with increasing commodity prices and tariffs, have further challenged the global supply chain model. The report suggests that FMCG companies need to move from faster prediction to faster response in their supply chains in order to address these challenges. The report also touches on the impact of sustainability on supply chains and concludes with a discussion on the future direction of the FMCG sector.
