In-Depth Study on Global Executives Survey: Impact of Seasonality in FMCG industry

Global Executives Survey: Impact of Seasonality in FMCG industry is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack. This report examines the impact of seasonal availability of ingredients on manufacturers’ production costs, significance of discounting, advertising and marketing activity, and identifies profitable retail channels for best-selling seasonal goods.
Seasonality of products is primarily influenced by assortment, prices, and promotional activities. The survey results reveal that more than half of companies do not adjust their assortment based on a season. This is creating a business scope for seasonality in order to grow sales. Globally, Q2 is considered the heaviest time for advertising and marketing activities. The majority of suppliers possess the same or comparatively less ability to provide ingredients year around, creating opportunities for new suppliers to initiate business. Furthermore, new flavors of existing products for recurring events have the potential to offer the highest return on investment for FMCG manufacturers and suppliers.
