Market Context and Trends
The B2C finished products market reflects a blend of long-term consumer behaviour shifts and accelerated digital transformation in retail. Consumer preference for seamless shopping experiences — whether in physical stores or online — has prompted manufacturers and retailers to adopt hybrid distribution models that unify product availability across channels. Offline retail continues to command a significant share in many regions due to in-person product trial and immediate delivery. However, e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels are rapidly expanding as consumers embrace convenience, broader assortments, and contactless fulfillment.
Economic Drivers
Several macroeconomic factors underpin the forecasted growth:
• Urbanisation and Income Growth: Expanding middle-class populations in emerging markets such as India and China increase demand for both basic and premium consumer products.
• Retail Infrastructure Expansion: Investments in modern retail formats and supply chain logistics support broader market access.
• Digital Adoption: Smartphone proliferation and improved digital payment systems have reduced friction in online shopping, expanding market reach even in semi-urban and rural areas.

Personal care products comprise the largest segment within the B2C finished products market, driven by consistent daily usage and innovation in formulations and functionalities. Other key segments include:
• Home care products
• Packaged foods and beverages

Distribution Channels
Physical retail formats, including supermarkets, specialty stores, and department stores, remain dominant in many markets due to consumer preference for in-store experiences. Simultaneously, online and direct-to-consumer sales channels are capturing increased share through targeted digital marketing and logistics efficiency improvements.

• Supply Chain Disruptions: Inflationary pressures, logistics constraints, and raw material volatility remain headwinds for manufacturers.
• Competitive Saturation: Intensifying competition from both global and local brands necessitates continuous innovation and differentiation.
Industry Outlook and Forecast
