🤷🏼♀️ Ever wondered who the largest FMCG conglomerates in Australia are?There is a US version of this graphic that has been doing the rounds on LinkedIn lately, so we decided to create the Australian version for the Grocery channel.Key takeaway: there are a lot of brands held by a small number of players with unparalleled economies of scale. So how do new/emerging brands win? Our top 3 tips:👉🏻 counter position rather than compete👉🏻 talk directly to consumers and better address their needs👉🏻 stay focused/disciplined on optimal capital allocationDisclaimers:*Not an exhaustive list, there are some other big players in Australia - have a guess as to which other conglomerates fall in the top 20?**KitKat should fall in Nestle

The refranchising of Coca-Cola bottlers continues. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) and Aboitiz Equity Ventures to acquire Coca-Cola Philippines for $1.8bnThe strategic move highlights Coca-Cola's push to strengthen its key bottlers while offloading low profitability bottling business from its operations. For the world's largest KO bottler, the deal is focused on: •Strategic expansion in Asia: The acquisition will give CCEP 60% stake in CCBPI (CCEP JV partner AEV to obtain 40%), and allow them to tap into the Philippine market with a large (110m) and growing (+1.5% p.a.) population with already relatively high (40 liters per capita) consumption of Coca-Cola products. Similar to their 2021 acquisition of Amatil (Indonesia, ANZ)•Strengthening its scale and growth baseline: CCBPI is the sole KO bottler in PH, with 19 manufacturing plants and 10k+ employees, and a significant business ($1.7bn NS) expected to grow at ~10% rate over the next five years (i.e., significantly faster than the already quite saturated EU/ ANZ markets)•Boosting the operational efficiency of CCBPI by leveraging CCEP's expertise, scale and position in the Coca Cola ecosystemReasonable.#strategy #cpg #fmcg

Strategic question #5 for 2024: in a broad context of refocus on organic growth/ desinflation management & in an increasingly scarce corporate resources environment, what are the few initiatives that should continue to be prioritized (or at least not unplugged) considering their high ‘future-back’ (long-term) value-at-stake?Our perspective: it varies across FMCG verticals. Today, let's focus on the FMCG companies with large exposure to fragmented channels (mostly Food & Beverage, Professional Beauty)For those FMCG companies, we favor EB2B as the key 'future-back big bet' as we see it as a key enabler to protect & expand share of profit capture in those highly strategic (large, growing faster, often more profitable) fragmented channelsTo know more about how to leverage EB2B to drive outperformance in fragmented channels, read our publication belowExciting timesTo discover all our predictions for 2024: https://lnkd.in/e65PrsBqTo sign-up to our FMCG CEOs newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eR8vDpvE#fmcg #cpg #ceoinsights The Coca-Cola Company AB InBev The HEINEKEN Company Pernod Ricard Coca-Cola HBC Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Carlsberg Group Nestlé Mondelēz International Unilever PepsiCo Diageo Mars L'Oréal Henkel
