The Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Large-scale Retail Trade/Retail, and Ho.Re.Ca markets are increasingly interconnected, with immediate repercussions on each other. The past few years have been turbulent, with significant shocks. 
The geopolitical, social, and economic context is unstable, with double-digit inflation that is only now showing signs of slowing down. Families are adjusting their choices to limit waste and maintain quality.
Future trends include the redefinition of prices and assortments and the implementation of new supply chain models.

The large-scale retail trade has seen an increase in sales post-pandemic and a strong inflationary trend. Supermarkets and discount stores are converging, and private labels exceed 30% of the assortment. 
A new development will be greater collaboration between branded industry and large-scale retail trade.
Collective catering has faced turbulence due to the pandemic and rising energy costs. This sector is crucial for welfare, public health, and food education. 

Human resources will be a critical factor, with a mismatch between supply and demand in the labor market. The most sought-after figures will be marketing, supply chain, and sales managers.
