With a global market of roughly $9.44 trillion expected to reach $11.37 trillion by 2030, food and beverage manufacturing is going through rapid transformation. This deck covers the five key growth drivers — health and wellness, sustainability, technology integration, digital commerce, and M&A — along with how AI, IoT, and robotics are changing production.
It examines the major industry challenges, the impact of supply chain disruption, market size and growth projections for food processing and processing equipment, strategic opportunities in alternative proteins, smart packaging, traceability, and personalized products, and the top 10 supply chain challenges, from raw material volatility and perishability to visibility gaps and climate risk.
The SAP section presents a five-point framework: Integrated Business Planning for supply chain intelligence, SAP ERP Cloud with Digital Manufacturing for traceability and compliance, Ariba for cost management, Digital Manufacturing for production efficiency, and Product Footprint Management for sustainability reporting — plus the implementation considerations SAP doesn't solve automatically, such as master data quality, change management, and IoT integration, where ETS can help as a partner.
The full deck is available above as a PDF. For shorter editions see the "Food and Beverage Fact Sheet 2026" and the "Food and Beverage Market Overview 2026: Executive Brief" in the Resource Library.
