Summary

This Manufacturing Insights quarterly update analyzes the business environment and trends for the CPG manufacturing sector in Europe (EU 27 + EFTA countries are considered in the analysis).

In particular, we analyze the brand-oriented value chain (BOVC), which is characterized by highly variable demand industries that manufacture branded consumer products, such as in apparel, food, and beverage sectors.

Manufacturing Insights provides analysis of trends in the CPG manufacturing sector, based on our Global Performance Index (GPI). This index tracks growth metrics from 800+ publicly traded global firms in the manufacturing industries. The most significant industry news to affect the European CPG manufacturing industry is reported. Finally, European ICT investment directions in the CPG manufacturing sector are analyzed through outlining the major ICT contracts that were signed in the first quarter of 2008.
