Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is a huge industry that encompasses a wide range of products from food and beverages to personal care and household items. The CPG industry is usually categorized by high-volume products (think daily use that must be replenished or replaced.) The industry is highly competitive and expected to reach the market size of approximately $24 million in 2030. That is a 3.1% CAGR from 2023 according to recent industry reports.

This means there are big opportunities to capture market share today in CPG, and that’s why the competition is fierce.

Retail or CPG?

What’s the difference between retail and CPG? The CPG industry is much broader than retail. In fact, it includes the entire network needed to produce the product, sell, and deliver it to the end user. This encompasses everything required for manufacturing, marketing, and selling the CPG product.

That’s where the complexity comes in.

A DAM solution can streamline their marketing and e-commerce processes and enhance their customer experience in several ways. DAM plays a crucial role in enabling CPG companies to store, manage, and distribute their digital assets effectively to enable one view of the truth.

Product teams, marketing, partner, and e-commerce teams can manage and access the right versions of product specifications, descriptions, logos, and assets quickly and easily with a digital asset management solution.
