A 2025 looking CPG reality check starts with what is happening across the chain, from 31.0% U.S. producer price jumps for packaged goods to a 58% share of supply-chain leaders saying AI is already in use or in pilot. At the same time, buying behavior keeps shifting faster than traditional planning assumes, with 31.0% U.S. grocery app usage and 38% reporting that out-of-stocks make them less likely to buy again. This post pulls those signals into one dataset so you can see where growth is real, where margins get squeezed, and where execution is gaining or slipping.
