To protect and grow your food and beverage business, you can take the following actions:
-
To remain competitive, companies are investing in digitalization and automation technologies.
For example, automation and robotics can help food manufacturing businesses become more competitive by improving productivity, reducing water and energy consumption, and reducing equipment downtime. Sensors and predictive analytics can reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing processes by assessing water usage, energy consumption, and waste generation.
At the same time, artificial intelligence and virtual reality can also speed up the product development process in the food industry. For instance, e-commerce has provided greater access to online shopping, allowing consumers to purchase products they might not be able to find in their local stores. For example, online wine retailer Vinomofo has proven successful with its e-commerce model.
-
Adapting products to meet changing consumer demands.
Food and beverage businesses will have growth opportunities in the future to provide more products outside of alcoholic beverages, focusing on health, sustainability and plant-based/alternative proteins. These businesses should also consider sustainable packaging options.
-
Business continuity planning is essential for any organization.
Given the current economic climate, Food Innovation Australia Limited (FIAL) advises food and beverage businesses to revisit their business continuity planning, including cash flow and liquidity planning.
