Focusing on the key issues for executives in the consumer industries
A number of trends are converging to create unprecedented challenges for consumer business companies. Each one of these trends is in itself significant; the fact that they are increasingly interrelated makes the challenges for executives even more complex. Deloitte focuses the deep knowledge and experience of retail and consumer products practitioners at its member firms around the world on these and other priority issues to help executives guide their companies. Among these issues:
- Dramatic growth in emerging markets; slowing growth in developed ones
- Focus on cost-cutting, liquidity, international growth, and diversification
- Cost-conscious consumers who are more mobile and empowered by technology
- Sharper focus on the responsible sourcing of materials, commodity cost volatility, and sustainability
- Increased regulatory and tax pressures having a growing impact on business strategy
For the latest perspective from the Centers of Excellence, please see Finance transformation in consumer products: it’s a whole new world. Please continue to visit this site for other insights on issues of most concern to retail and consumer products executives such as sustainability, globalization, regulation, and pricing.
