Route to market

Securing Your Seat at the Retail Table

In a rapidly evolving food retail landscape, ingredient suppliers must do more than innovate—they must clearly demonstrate where and how they create value for retailers. Speaking the same language, understanding consumer and retailer priorities, and knowing how to stand out has become essential.

The IFFI Route to Market event opens with an exclusive dinner meeting featuring a keynote speaker with deep retail experience. During this interactive session, participants will gain insight into:

– How retailers assess supplier value and differentiation
– The consumer and retailer trends that will shape food categories over the next five years
– Which marketing strategies genuinely drive behavioural change—and which do not

On the second day, participants will visit a food company (for members only) that has successfully built its route to market through private label solutions. This behind-the-scenes visit offers a practical perspective on:
– Translating consumer and retailer insights into scalable private label propositions
– Collaborating effectively with retailers to become indispensable rather than interchangeable
– Turning innovation into commercial success within a private label context

This event brings industry professionals together for strategic insights and real-life inspiration on building strong retailer partnerships and successful private label solutions. Participants will explore the consumer and retail trends shaping the next five years, discover which marketing strategies truly drive behavioural change, and learn how to translate insights into propositions retailers cannot ignore.
