FMCG Asia Awards 2023 hails outstanding companies, initiatives 

The prestigious event highlighted initiatives and products that are at the forefront of industry innovation.

In recent times, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry has undergone notable shifts, shaped by various factors. One key aspect is the evolving consumer landscape, marked by changing purchasing behaviours and preferences. There is a discernible move towards experiential shopping, where consumers seek not only products but also immersive and personalised experiences.

Technological advancements, particularly data analytics and artificial intelligence, are also influencing how FMCG companies understand and engage with their customer base. This has led to a more targeted approach to product development and marketing strategies. Additionally, the global marketplace has become increasingly interconnected, with cross-border trade and international collaborations impacting the industry's dynamics. 

In honour of companies that were able to adapt and thrive amidst these shifts, the FMCG Asia Awards 2023 was held on 23 November at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands. Organised by Retail Asia, the highly coveted awards programme recognises the pioneers in the industry and celebrates excellence in introducing exceptional products or executing remarkable projects.

This year’s entries for the event were judged by an esteemed panel of experts, including Neil Sutton, PwC Head of Corporate Finance - Asia Pacific; Anson Bailey, KPMG Head of Consumer & Retail, ASPAC; Olivier Gergele, EY Asia-Pacific EY-Parthenon Consumer Leader, and; David Eu, RSM Partner & Deputy Industry Lead - F&B, Retail and Consumer Products Practice.
