The CPG industry in Canada is going through some major changes, but don’t worry, we have got the inside scoop on the top trends in CPG insights.
First up, e-commerce is taking over the world! With the huge boost of shopping online since 2020, it’s crucial for CPG companies to optimize their online sales channels and enhance the customer experience. Data analysis is key to figuring out what customers want and tailoring offerings to meet their needs.
Next, it’s all about personalization. Consumers want that special touch, and CPG companies are using data to provide personalized recommendations and offers. It’s like having a personal shopping assistant without having to leave your house!
Health and wellness are also on the rise. CPG companies are using data to understand consumer attitudes towards health and wellness, so they can develop and market healthier products. Because who doesn’t love feeling good and being healthy?

Sustainability is also becoming a top priority. CPG companies are reducing waste, developing more sustainable products and packaging, and using data to understand consumer attitudes towards sustainability. It’s like saving the planet, one product at a time.
AI and Machine Learning are the future. By using these technologies, CPG companies can analyze large amounts of data and make faster, more informed decisions. It’s like having a robot assistant that can help you run your business!
Finally, loyalty card data continues to be a gold mine of insights. CPG companies can use this data to see how customers are shopping, what they’re buying, and which brands are the most popular. It’s like having a crystal ball that tells you exactly what your customers want.
