Why Winning in Grocery Is Harder Than Ever

Grocery brands are navigating one of the most complex retail landscapes yet. Shoppers are changing how and what they buy, margins are under constant pressure, and retailer fragmentation makes it harder to stay profitable at scale. To compete — and grow — brands need to overcome these industry-wide obstacles with speed and precision.

  • Margins Under Fire

    Rising costs and tighter competition make profitability harder to protect, especially as shoppers trade down to private label.

  • Evolving Shopper Preferences

    Health-conscious, less-processed, and niche brands are gaining share, forcing legacy brands to adapt quickly to shifting demand.

  • Market Volatility

    Grocery brands face constant retailer competition and slower growth compared to other sectors, driving pressure to do more with less.

  • Shifting Consumption Trends

    New dynamics — from wellness movements to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs reducing demand for sugary and salty foods — are reshaping category performance.

  • Retailer Complexity

    Managing launches, budgets, and campaigns across multiple platforms like Walmart, Instacart, Amazon, and Kroger requires speed, data, and precision.
