The global image recognition in CPG market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The increasing need for efficient and profitable retail execution processes with adherence to compliance standards is one of the major factors expected to drive the growth of this market.

Image recognition solutions are revolutionizing the way CPG companies manage customer interactions, market products online and offline, and manage store inventory. Image recognition technology is increasingly being used to search for products online for purchase. For instance, Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, is currently working on developing a visual product feature in Snapchat that will leverage image recognition technology and help users to take pictures of products in the real world and identify, browse, and purchase items on Amazon. 

With the boom in the e-commerce industry, even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurs and retailers have realized that conventional strategies of sales promotions, marketing, and visual merchandising will not be sustainable in the CPG industry in the long term. Hence, retailers are quickly adapting to the new era of AI and image recognition to deliver a next-level customer experience. The use of image recognition for shelf recognition, product placement, and maintaining compliance with merchandising standards is quickly gaining momentum. Image recognition technology is assisting manufacturers, retailers, and marketers to understand their market and react dynamically.
