Packaging & Delivery Innovation
Sustainability. Novel Formats. Retail Innovation.Digital-native and sustainability-focused consumers driving a plastic-free future
The pandemic accelerated the market-share grab of e-commerce by a decade. Like their counterparts in other CPG sectors, food and beverage players are bringing forward omnichannel propositions that have a solid digital and connected feature-set.
At the same time, consumer demands for hygiene, traceability, and sustainability act as significant headwinds for traditional packaging formats. Brand owners and leading packaging suppliers are looking for novel technologies for sustainable and lightweight materials, low-contact delivery and retail concepts, spoilage-reducing or -detection options, and interactive digital formats.
FutureBridge supports its clients with global techno-commercial insights to help avoid disruption and maintain a competitive edge.
