Price volatility is nothing new for procurement professionals familiar with the vagaries of global commodity markets. And yet, recent price volatility is straining material management processes and squeezing margins to an unprecedented degree. Procurement professionals must strike a delicate balance between profitability and affordability (for their customers).
Fastmarkets arms procurement teams with insights to help them anticipate and hedge against price risk, understand and anticipate changing costs, and better manage supplier relationships.
While sustainability is increasingly important, it often comes with higher costs. Buyers face the challenge of substituting more sustainable materials while keeping costs in check. Procurement teams are asked to assess suppliers not just on cost and reliability, but on emissions and other ESG factors, too.
Fastmarkets’ rich industry data sets, reporting of packaging and sustainability trends and analytical tools help FMCG manufacturers to identify suppliers that meet their criteria, including carbon emissions profiles at the producer and plant level.
Every link of the consumer goods supply chain has been tested to its limits recently. When the business turns to the planning and strategy team to predict the market’s next move, that team turns to Fastmarkets.
Fastmarkets equips FMCG manufacturers with up-to-date market analysis, coverage of the latest news and trends moving the market and access to experts. Our in-depth analysis of the FMCG value chain includes cost differentials as well as prices, forecasts and the impact of policy and regulation for Latin America, North America, Europe and Asia.
