Our take
The consumer goods market is one of the largest on the planet. Worldwide it is projected to reach over $15 trillion by 2025. There are currently 25 million consumer goods SMEs worldwide, with $4 trillion of revenue between them, who do not have the access, knowledge or power to create effective supply chains. This is the potential market which Opply is aiming its services at.
Opply's product is a digitised supply chain for consumer goods SMEs, which creates a fully traceable and predictive global supply chain with a key focus on optimising supply chain efficiency. By removing the need for businesses to order from suppliers manually, Opply boasts that users can spend 90% less time on supply chain work, reducing costs by 20%.
In terms of users, Opply has already built a network with million suppliers, and has generated over $1M worth of product order requests, in just a few months! With 1 million new consumer brands started yearly and Opply's substantial 2022 seed funding round, the company's potential market is only going to grow.
