2022 was a turbulent and difficult year, yet one to remember. The resurgence of COVID-19 have changed the consumer market landscape, reshaped consumer mindsets, and slowed down the overall economic growth. Due to the ever-evolving business environment, shift in consumer behaviours, demographics and fast-changing trends, 2023 is continuing to remain a challenging year for FMCG industry.

CDMC Retail Research Institute (CRRI) is the research-based new media platform of CDMC Group with a keen perspective and forward-looking view. It is dedicated to providing case studies, in-depth insights and industry analysis to ambitious and proactive consumer goods industry executives through summits, reports, closed-door meetings, webinars, interviews, etc., in order to build a professional community ecosystem, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

Digital innovation, real-time and personalized needs, ever-expanding touchpoints, diversified channels and an increased focus on sustainable and healthy habits have been just some of the biggest influences on the consumer goods market in recent years. As the industry returns to the essence of business, we firmly believe that only by embracing the changes, optimizing the product strategies and brand awareness, establishing brand attitude and value proposition, and actively innovating and self-iterating can we build brand resilience and move towards long-termism.

We are excited to bring the 4th Asia Future FMCG Innovation Summit and Festival (Future FMCG 2023) back to Guangzhou, China. We sincerely welcome you to attend and join our Future FMCG community! The theme this year, “Returning to the Essence of Business and Rebuilding Brand Resilience” compels us to look into the future of our field, expand our perspectives, examine emerging trends, and rethink current practices. The Future FMCG Innovation Festival will be held in conjunction with the Summit.

This year, we will pay more attention to the long-term value and sustainability of the brands. As an industry enabler, we will bring together more than 600 elite leaders and young blood in the FMCG sector who are truly consumer-centric, to discuss their visionary views and study the way to long-term development from both the perspectives of Chinese and global market, aiming to help brands make decisions better, faster, and closer to the consumer.

Long-termism means the pursuit of certainty in a world of uncertainty. Moving into 2023, we look forward to the industry recovery, the business growth, and your personal success. Hope we can all move into the future we want.

Looking forward to meeting you in Guangzhou!
