In 2023, Navigator Business Solutions highlighted some key trends that consumer products companies needed to address. As we move into 2024, these trends continue to be relevant, but there are also new factors to consider.

They demand transparency, sustainability, and ethical practices from the brands they support. Companies must prioritize building trust and demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility.

By understanding customer behavior and preferences, companies can personalize marketing campaigns, optimize product offerings, and make informed decisions about inventory management and pricing strategies.
