🛒 Финал wave 3: где мы сейчас в СНГ FMCG

Заключительный overview после 30 постов.

Что мы discussed:
🔸 Market dynamics (retail consolidation, D2C emergence)
🔸 Platform economics (Wildberries, Ozon)
🔸 Category deep-dives (beauty, food, home care)
🔸 Business models (SKU strategy, private label, subscription)
🔸 Digital transformation
🔸 Startup strategies
🔸 Trends 2026-2028

Key takeaways:

1. FMCG в СНГ не dying, но changing
Growth continues, но margin pressure. Business models must evolve.

2. D2C is not option, is necessary
Every FMCG brand needs D2C channel. Data, brand, margin, resilience.

3. Category ownership > general marketing
Depth > breadth. Focus expertise. Own vertical.

4. Digital transformation urgent
Data platform, analytics, automation. Not optional anymore.

5. Retail relationships evolving
Category management partnerships > transactional. Trust matters.

6. Sustainability не option
Regulatory, consumer, retailer — pressures aligned.

7. Subscription models transformative
Recurring revenue changes economics profoundly.

8. Chinese и international brands wave
Local players must compete on quality, story, service.
