Consumers Face Reality of COVID-19

Consumers Face the Reality of COVID-19: Observations and Implications for CPG and Retail

The modern world has never before experienced what is happening in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the virus and its impact — on consumers, businesses and markets — continue to accelerate, health concerns are rising along with greater economic uncertainty.

As a result, consumers are altering their CPG product preferences and overall shopping behavior. This includes:

• purchase decisions
• dealing with out-of-stocks
• reduced brick-and-mortar store trips
• relying more heavily on click and collect

During this webinar, IRI and FMI share insights on the latest consumer sentiment, which categories are experiencing explosive growth and what’s expected to slow down — plus what all of this means for the industry. In addition to providing a real-time look at what’s occurring across grocery retail, IRI and FMI share ideas on how CPG manufacturers and retailers can best support consumers as they face unprecedented challenges.

Rick Stein, Vice President, Fresh Foods, FMI
