One notable trend in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry is the growing shift toward health-conscious and sustainable products. Consumers are increasingly seeking items with natural ingredients, low sugar, and eco-friendly packaging. This shift is driven by rising awareness about personal well-being and environmental impact, as well as social media influence and transparency from brands. Companies that adapt by offering organic, plant-based, or recyclable options are seeing stronger engagement and loyalty, making sustainability and health-focused innovation a key driver in shaping the CPG market.

As urbanization accelerates, particularly in emerging markets, more consumers are entering the middle class, leading to increased disposable incomes. For instance, according to an article by The Economic Times, published in September 2025, India’s rural areas have recently surpassed urban centers in the consumption of affordable premium FMCG products, accounting for 51% of the volume share in 2025, up from 45% in 2021. This shift indicates a growing aspiration among rural consumers for higher-quality products, fueling demand in the CPG sector.

Another key growth driver for the consumer packaged goods market is the rising awareness of health, wellness, and sustainability. Consumers are increasingly looking for products with natural ingredients, lower sugar or fat content, and eco-friendly packaging. This shift encourages companies to innovate, introducing organic, plant-based, or recyclable options, which helps them capture new customer segments while maintaining loyalty among existing buyers.

Several companies are actively pursuing sustainable packaging initiatives. PepsiCo has announced that by 2025, 98% of its packaging will be recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable (RCBR). Similarly, Nestlé aims to ensure all of its packaging is recyclable or reusable by 2025, and as of late 2023, approximately 82% of its plastic packaging was already designed to be recyclable.

This trend aligns with broader shifts in consumer behavior, as highlighted by the 2024 Food & Beverage Trends survey from Matter Communications, which found that 44% of respondents are likely to incorporate healthier beverages such as gut-health sodas, sparkling drinks, or enhanced water with electrolytes into their daily routines. When evaluating nutritional attributes, consumers prioritized low sugar (64%), high protein content (58%), and low carbohydrate levels (52%), underscoring the growing importance of health-conscious choices in everyday consumption.

Another key factor shaping the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry includes the ongoing growth of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, greater investment in digital advertising and marketing technologies, and a rising consumer preference for sustainable and purpose-driven brands. In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming the value chain, with leading companies applying it across product development, supply chain optimization, and hyper-personalized marketing, enabling more efficient operations and closer consumer engagement. According to the CPG Industry Outlook 2024, by Infosys Knowledge Institute, spending on generative AI by companies increased from USD 441 million in 2023 to USD 726 million in 2024.
