While 25 of the largest food and beverage companies drove 3% of total category growth, the smallest 20,000 companies drove nearly half (49%).<\/li>\n<li>Shoppers\u2019 demands for convenience and speed are being met via the omnichannel. Three out of four Americans buy both online and offline. Store-based retailers must succeed both in-store and online, leveraging stores as assets for online fulfillment and pickup.<\/li>\n<li>Most consumers fall into one of two groups: value-driven (41%) or purpose-driven (40%). How retailers and manufacturers meet these consumers\u2019 needs will determine how successful they are at attracting shoppers and building loyalty.<\/li>\n<li>A top consumer priority for selecting products is health and wellness, which for some includes ethical and environmental considerations, such as sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What It Means for Brands and Retailers<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;While many factors are influencing the seismic shift in the retail and consumer goods industry, brands and retailers who follow the shopper will succeed,\u201d said Kimberly Senter, executive vice president, Ai\u00b2. \u201cWhy?
