About the event
The consumer goods industry is at an inflection point. Long-standing forces that once defined the sector are shifting under sustained economic pressure, changes that are expected to persist rather than reverse. Our 2026 Global Consumer Products Industry Outlook highlights a clear and consistent trend across categories: when combining consumer sentiment with actual spending behavior, brands that deliver stronger value for price are gaining share.
For industry leaders, the imperative goes beyond responding to disruption. It requires fundamentally rethinking how to stay relevant, build resilience, and drive growth in a landscape where consumers are more discerning and value-conscious than ever.
The Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit 2026 will explore how the industry is navigating this new reality. As AI-powered assistants increasingly shape purchasing decisions, brands that succeed will be those that articulate their value clearly, both to consumers and to the digital systems acting on their behalf. In this evolving ecosystem, visibility and clarity are becoming as critical as traditional brand strength.
