Top capital spending GOALS?
Average ratings: scale of 1 to 7
1 = Not at all important and 7 = Extremely important
Although dry kibble still dominates the US pet
food market with 72% of sales, the increased focus on
pet wellness has pet owners feeding a broader range
of products to their pets, according to consumer
goods market research firm Packaged Facts.
Producing a wider array of products presents manufacturing challenges and requires capital investment.
The majority of executives (65%) reported an increase in capital spending for 2019 versus 2018 and
51% expect increased capital investments during the
next two years.
What goals are driving capital investment?
Improving processing capability and flexibility
was reported as the top capital spending goal. Also
important is improving food safety and sanitation,
as well as increasing capacity for existing products.
To achieve these goals, the majority of companies
plan to allocate dollars for maintenance and replacement parts (61%) and system improvements (61%).
Another priority is purchasing new processing
equipment (43%).
