The FMCG sector has undergone substantial consolidation in recent years. Although many SME branded and private label producers are still independent, they are often niche producers, active in regional or national markets with low market growth. They may also be overly reliant on local brand or image, with limited marketing abilities.
Larger FMCG groups, on the other hand, often have the distribution and marketing power to enter niche markets themselves whereas private equity or family offices can contribute finance and expertise to extend brands and develop distribution.
