IRI/Boston Consulting Group Study Identifies Fast Growing CPG Companies

A new study from The Boston Consulting Group and Information Resources (IRI) indicates that price increases and distribution gains are driving performance of large CPG companies, while smaller firms are making share gains. Lorillard, Hershey, and Anheuser-Busch InBev ranked best of the big companies; Green Mountain Coffee, Chobani and Starbucks were the top mid-size performers; and highest ranking small companies were TalkingRain, Idahoan, and Handi-foil.
