A $45.1 billion global market estimate for digital transformation services in 2022 is big, but what stands out for CPG leaders is how fast operations improve once data stops being a bottleneck. Case studies point to a 35% jump in on time delivery using real time tracking and predictive ETAs, while another study reports 90% faster access to traceability records in the food supply chain. Put together with broader adoption signals like 67% of supply chain leaders expecting greater cloud visibility use in the next 12 to 24 months, it raises a clear question about where CPGs should invest first to get measurable gains.
