Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) or Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) refer to items that are purchased rapidly and at a comparatively low price. Examples encompass non-durable household items like packaged foods, drinks, toiletries, over-the-counter medications, and various consumables.
Numerous fast-moving consumer products have a brief shelf life, either due to strong consumer demand or due to rapid spoilage. Certain FMCGs, including meats, fruits, vegetables, dairy items, and baked products, are very perishable.
Other products like pre-packaged meals, beverages, sweets, and personal care items exhibit high turnover rates. Sales can occasionally be affected by holiday or seasonal times as well as by the discounts available.
