Product of the Year Canada announces 2024 winners
Product of the Year Canada, the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation, is proud to announce the highly anticipated winners of the 2024 Product of the Year Awards. With winners across 39 distinct categories, the products are awarded Product of the Year for outstanding innovation through a national survey of 4,000 Canadian shoppers conducted by Kantar, a global leader in consumer research.
“In the consumer landscape of 2024, the significance of Product of the Year has reached new heights. Today's consumers enjoy unprecedented access to products. The marketplace has become dynamic and multifaceted with retailers leveraging strategic partnerships, harnessing the increasing influence of retail media to amplify their products' reach and impact. Over the past year, retail has seen significant changes, with the rise of immersive shopping experiences, and a shift towards sustainability and ethical consumption. The Iconic Product of the Year Seal not only recognizes innovation but also signifies a powerful endorsement in the modern retail era, enhancing the winners' visibility and credibility in the marketplace.” - Mike Nolan, global CEO of Product of the Year Management.
Nolan also underscores the award's established and growing importance for CPG companies. “It serves as a crucial platform for these companies to showcase their products' excellence in quality and innovation. The 2024 award winners not only reflect the ever-changing trends in the Canadian market but also highlight outstanding features in function, design, packaging, or ingredients.
As a company, we are enthusiastic about maintaining our position at the forefront of recognizing and celebrating these remarkable products.”
With the distinctive Product of the Year red seal that is globally recognized as a vote of confidence from consumers themselves, shoppers can easily cut through the clutter and trust that these products demonstrate the utmost innovation in their respective categories.
From sustainability, personal care, and household essentials to the latest food and beverage options and beyond.
