The food and beverage industry is sensitive to economic shifts and consumer preferences. Explore its current state and how this industry is transforming to meet future sustainable needs, technologies, challenges, growth and investment prospects, and business opportunities.
Growth is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. Today, and for the foreseeable future, companies will battle with strategic imperatives that are putting increasing pressures on the growth they so desperately need. Frost & Sullivan has identified eight strategic imperatives that your team must fully embrace to understand the complexity of critical decisions: Innovative Business Models, Industry Convergence, Disruptive Technologies, Geopolitical Chaos, Competitive Intensity, Internal Challenges, Transformative Mega Trends, and Compression of Customer Value Chain.
Each imperative individually represents an uphill climb, but when combined, represent a relative Mount Everest that must be navigated to reach a growth summit. Here are four best practices to drive your growth pipeline during the current COVID-19 climate.
Best Practice #1: Know Your Numbers (facts)
COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth environment in virtually every market. For some, those numbers are a positive net effect (albeit unwelcomed growth), provisioned by the accelerated uptake in technologies such as video collaboration. That market, for example, was growing at a CAGR of 17.2% prior to COVID-19. It has now accelerated to 24.6%. But not all markets have reacted this way. The average market price in the energy industry changed dramatically through the first 150 days of the pandemic, dropping -38.5%. Thus, with this shift, you have to refocus, revisit your original plans, and reinvest into optimal areas of growth. There is no doubt we are seeing fundamental profit pools shifting across respective value chains, and your organization will survive and thrive based on knowing your “new†numbers.

Although many EU states did not
achieve the target of 20% of electricity from
renewable energy sources, a number of them
exceeded the target, and renewables have become
a mainstream generation technology within
Europe. Subsidies supported the initial boom in
the late 2000s and their withdrawal in the
early 2010s did slow the market. Since then,
technology cost reductions for solar PV and
onshore and offshore wind have been key to
reactivating the market.

Renewable energy will dominate the
next decade, having already built strong
momentum in the late 2010s. Frost & Sullivan
forecasts that $2.72 trillion will be invested
in wind and solar over the course of the next
decade, marking a further significant shift
away from fossil fuel-based generation across
nearly all regional power markets.

Many cities around the world are planning for, purchasing, and bringing online their SmartSafe City programs and technology systems to integrate their public safety, health, city services, and citizen engagement capabilities to better serve and safeguard citizens. Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis finds that the SmartSafe City solutions sector is expected to reach a market value of $12.2 billion by 2030, from $10.6 billion in 2019, driven by an increase in demand for digital threat remediation measures.
With anti-COVID vaccines getting rolled out, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and corporations are announcing ambitious development plans and aggressively putting in support measures to rebuild the economy, stimulate cash flow, and build a sustainable growth trajectory that will shape the future of the economy. While traditional sectors such as infrastructure, mobility, and healthcare will continue to thrive in the GCC, significant changes in customer requirements will lead to unique opportunities in sunrise industries like digital transformation, agriculture and food production, and clean technologies.
Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Digitalization Powering the Global Water Market, 2020, finds that smart sensors with advanced artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based data analytics platforms are on the rise in the global water sector as they require minimal maintenance or human interference. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the sector’s technological need following supply chain disruptions and a labor shortage during lockdowns, which adversely impacted the growth of the water market globally.
