The report includes insights from key CPG executives, total eCommerce sales and growth estimates of major CPG manufacturers, 20+ charts and tables, notable strategic acquisitions, and more.
Why CPG Brands Should Read It
Simply put – it examines several critical topics that impact ALL CPG Brands (no exceptions), such as why Amazon is such a critical player in the online market and a look at the top destinations for online CPG shoppers in 2019.
According to Internet Retailer, their report “…examines the ways CPG manufacturers are building their eCommerce businesses using strategies that include working with online retailers, selling selected products directly to consumers and spending billions of dollars collectively on strategic acquisitions of startup brands like Harry’s and Graze.”
And just in case you need one more reason to read it… the stats. Internet Retailer conducted an exclusive survey on how consumers shop online, what they purchase, and what makes them purchase online vs. in-store.
