We are thrilled to present the report of our inaugural Food & Beverage (F&B) Industry Survey and thank the many business leaders who took the time to respond. As you will see in this survey, there is much optimism regarding the future for F&B companies as well as the overall industry. Honestly, this was
a bit of a surprise to me considering the many challenges facing the industry: record inflation, higher interest rates and a looming recession, supply chain disruptions, regulatory and labeling issues, labor shortages, the lagging effects of the pandemic, consolidation, and acceleration of technology needs.
