Pressured to deliver eco-friendly packaging? Balance sustainability and packaging innovation while growing profits with the right strategy on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform.

In the CPG & Retail industry, shifting consumer behavior along with growing complexity, make it more challenging than ever to drive sustainable growth.

Today’s consumers in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) - or sometimes referred to as fast-moving-consumer-goods (FMCG) - and Retail industry are no longer concerned with just product quality and price, they now want to be part of a collaborative product experience. When a brand or retailer fails to deliver on these expectations, consumers will move on. As a result, CPG brands are finding that product lifecycles are getting shorter. Leading consumer packaged goods companies are leveraging digital solutions to deliver innovation from concept to consumer and molecule to marketplace with extraordinary speed to delight consumers and drive sustainable business growth. Whether it's delivering for consumers looking for more sustainable packaging, or step-changing brand productivity in lab, or reshaping the supply chain to bring goods to consumers faster, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a wide-range of solutions for the CPG market.
