In the dynamic and rapidly shifting commerce landscape, accelerating agility will be the ultimate differentiator for CPGs and retailers striving to stay competitive. At Kantar Retail, our 2025 themes are designed to guide CPGs and retailers through the complexities of this evolving marketplace:

Navigating crosscurrents: Businesses must develop strategies across multiple scenarios to navigate the political and economic crosscurrents and other disruptions ahead.
Decisive retail: Decisions on resources and investments, rightsizing, expansion will be made prudently but briskly with the goal of driving margins.
Cohesive ecosystem: The consumer offer must solve problems and inspire. Reinforcing the value equation is crucial for creating loyalty and driving sales and market share.
Value reset: Understanding the varied definitions of differentiation and being flexible in conveying value is key. Retailers must tailer their offer to different generations and economic contexts.
AI advantage: With the path-to-purchase becoming increasingly complex and circular, those that are data-driven and willing to lead in AI transformation will dominate.
