"2020 Future Value Chain: Building Strategies for the New Decade" is a joint report published by The Consumer Goods Forum, Capgemini, HP and Microsoft. 200 executives from leading retailers, consumer goods manufacturers, academics, third-party providers and industry organizations participated in the 2020 Future Value Chain project.

The report examines the changing trends that will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next decade, outlines a number of strategic objectives being put in place as consumer product manufacturers and retailers build strategies for the next 10 years, and provides examples of tactics that can help the industry achieve these objectives.

“The trends highlighted in the report underline the need for even more collaboration among all parties in the value chain as we move through these challenging times. We should treat this as an opportunity to urgently act through putting in practice new plans and strategies that better suit the changing needs of our consumers,” said Nigel Bagley, Director for Industry Affairs, Unilever, and Co-Chairman of 2020 Future Value Chain.

“Consumer demands have already increasingly changed in the last few years through the use of new technologies. It is time now to sit down with our industry partners and talk about how, by working together, our industry can better serve the 2020 consumer. We are very excited about what the future holds,” said, Dr. Gerd Wolfram, Managing Director, METRO Systems and Co-Chairman of 2020 Future Value Chain.

“We have the capability to achieve success for our industry now and in the future,” said Jean-Marc Saubade, Managing Director, The Consumer Goods Forum. “Through the collaborative efforts from the entire industry and its partners, the industry needs to work closer than ever before, bringing companies together and driving projects and programs through collaborative engagement. It is up to us all to continue to work together to choose a better future.”
