In the potential regions such as North America and Europe consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector has developed swiftly to meet consumer demands due to the implementation of digital technology, which has enabled several brands to establish markets by selling directly to customers. Numerous retail giants across the world have launched their CPG marketplaces in order to capitalize on changes in consumer behavior, growing distribution channels, and the arrival of customer-centric digital brands that are taking over the CPG industry. Thus, the CPG industry’s growing focus positively impacts the retail execution software market, which helps to manage in-store activities in the CPG industry.
