While online CPG is still in the early stages of development, it is poised for explosive growth. By 2022, e-commerce will claim an average 10 percent of all CPG sales, and an impressive 18 percent of sales across the non-food sector. CPG companies can seize this growth opportunity, but the industry will need to evolve in order to excel. It starts with understanding that e-commerce is not just a sales channel; it is also a powerful marketing tool. Already, more than 76 percent of all customer shopping trips begin online, regardless of whether the purchase transaction occurs in a brick-and-mortar store or online. A strong online presence will support both online and in-store growth efforts.
