Challenge
Assortment execution is a foundational component of revenue growth management. But, as uncovered by our 2021 global survey of FMCG companies, only 23% believe they get full support for their assortment analytics and planning processes, and only one third get it for price-pack architecture. When it comes to setting up their organisations for assortment success, more than three quarters of FMCGs feel inadequately equipped. A refocus on the core tenets of assortment management drives profitable growth.
