Goods Company

Fast Moving Consumer Goods ( FMCG ), are the products that are sold quickly at relatively low cost. Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally sell in large quantities, so the cumulative profit on such products can be large.

FMCG products are generally replaced or fully used up over a short period of days, weeks, or months, and within one year. This contrasts with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances, which are generally replaced over a period of several years.

Some of the best known examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies include Procter & Gamble, MillerCoors, HERO Group, Anheuser-Busch, Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive, General Mills, H. J. Heinz, Cadbury, Reckitt Benckiser, Sara Lee, Nestlé, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Carlsberg, Kimberly-Clark, Kraft, Pepsi, Warburtons, Wilkinson, Wipro Consumer Care, Barilla Group and Mars.
