The CEE region has in recent years experienced a strong growth of its Mass Grocery Retail (MGR) sector, which has had a beneficial effect on the volumes and values of Food and Beverages sold in the country. The continuation of retail expansion will remain one of the key drivers of growth in the food and drinks industry over the coming years. The forecast growth will also be supported by an increased Westernisation of lifestyles, including the receptiveness for new products and the rising demand for convenience foods.
Some of the recently joined EU countries boast a well-developed food and drinks sector, supported by their maturing mass grocery retail (MGR) markets, an improving external economic environment, the adoption of the euro currency, and an excellent logistics network across the countries. The governments are also keen to complete privatisation, all of which should lead to consolidation of the food and drink industry over the coming years
This steady growth of the Retail and Food and Beverage sector in the CEE Region has sparked a renewed focus on quality of the supply chain management, which provides a pivotal role in enabling companies to retain a competitive edge, supporting innovations in products and services.
