Branding in FMCG

Your branding standards are generally a reflection of your product quality , when you put high calibre esteem on your branding function you make your product contribution premium despite the intricacies of the product development, an example of this is the Iphone being made in both India and China & the 2025 tariff war between USA and China where it was reported that luxury brands made the bulk of their goods in China . A momentary scandal that was laid to rest since people would still buy the brand for the brand ,regardless of its production origins . What’s key to note is that although people buy premium for more reasons than branding the brands themselves are established enough to diversify and industrialise . With modern production capacity in new production hubs and AI innovation, more brands( especially growing SME’s) will shift towards quantitative production and the brands that will stick out will do so by virtue of branding and design . Yes there is a difference .
