News from Amazon, Heineken, Haribo, and Asda
Description
This week’s episode of FMCG Weekly dives into Amazon’s exit from its UK Fresh stores and strategic pivot to online grocery. We examine Heineken’s $3.2 billion acquisition in Central America as a move to offset declining Western demand. Haribo’s laser focus on gummy production shows how single-product strategies can deliver scale and agility. Meanwhile, Asda’s upcoming supplier conference signals a potential wave of brand delistings, reminiscent of its earlier range culls. The episode provides deep strategic takeaways for senior FMCG leaders navigating retail disruption, channel shifts, and consumer behaviour changes across the globe.
