The food and beverage subsector of the
consumer business industry presents numerous
challenges. Companies are striving to build value
and meet consumer needs as they work to stay
ahead of the competition. While protecting and
building your brand is critical, as well as taking
advantage of the most recent developments in
innovation and technology, there are constant
challenges and complex questions. These include:
• Understandingchangingconsumertastes and
building adiverse productoffering
• Howto adapttothecurrentcompetitive

Understanding your industry
Part of our commitment to our clients is
understanding the changing economic
environment, and the priorities and concerns
facing organizations in their respective industries.
To ensure we stay current on the issues facing food
companies in Canada, we have conducted the
Food Processers Survey to learn how organizations
are evolving to build sustainable value in their
businesses. Outlined below are some initial
findings from our proprietary market survey:
• Respondents are operating in a fiercely
competitive environment and increasing
competitive pressures is one of the key issues
they now face
• Pricing, cost management, selection,
retention and motivation of key talent are
biggest priorities
• To stay ahead of the competitive curve,
organizations recognize the importance of
growth, and protecting and strengthening
their revenue streams
• Respondents felt new market ventures and
acquisitions were key considerations for
achieving exponential growth
• CEOs are expected to be strategic thinkers
who can deliver business results
• There is a shift in focus from day-to-day
operations to short- and long-term growth
strategies to increase sales and profitability
• Respondents strive to put more emphasis on
their people, processes and products
• They recognize the importance of creating
a cohesive work environment, process
excellence and continued focus on the core
business to prepare their organizations for the
next stage of growth
• As consumers become more increasingly
aware and are able to access new information
about the products they consume, survey
respondents felt they had to anticipate
these changes and create products that
meet consumer’s demands in order to stay
competitive and avoid losing market share.
As a leader in serving the food and consumer
products subsector, we help clients grow their
revenue in new markets, build their brands, and
control costs to maximize profitability. Our
team of over 300 food and consumer products
partners and professionals has worked with

industry across Canada.

manufacturing
• Beverage manufacturing

• Retail and commercial bakeries
• Food and beverage wholesalers and

opportunities in a competitive market.
