This year’s survey reveals an increase in demand for products, but supply chain and labor issues are preventing food manufacturers from a corresponding increase in revenue.
FOOD ENGINEERING annually contracts with B2B market research firm Clear Seas Research to survey members of the food and beverage industry with the goal of seeing how the current year is going for them. We then compare those results with those of past years to identify trends. The great part about the State of Food Manufacturing survey is that it provides us insight as we delve into our annual Top 100 Food & Beverage Companies, which we’ll release next month. As you’ll see, much of what this year’s study found is corroborated in our Top 100 regarding what has and what is affecting business in 2022-2023. We’ll delve into some highlights of the survey results here, and you can visit www.ClearSeasResearch.com to download the full survey.
