Deloitte, New York, released its 2019 Consumer Products Outlook report, which explores the biggest technology-driven trends in the industry.

Nine technologies are working together to create next-generation supply chains that are digital, on-demand and always-on. In fact, these supply chain models will soon become the new supply chain reality, according to the fourth in a series of MHI Annual Industry Reports developed by MHI, Charlotte, N.C., in collaboration with Deloitte Consulting, LLC, New York.

New data from the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), Silver Spring, Md., shows more than 180,000 consumer goods products were reformulated in 2016, while over 30,000 communities worldwide were involved in industry-led programs that promote healthier diets and lifestyles.
