What does FMCG mean?

FMCG stands for Fast Moving Consumer Goods. It is also referred to on occasion as CPG, an abbreviation of Consumer Packaged Goods.

They are described as being reasonably low cost items that are supplied and sold in a very short time period - often these types of products have a short shelf life, hence having a short sale time. FMCG's are often bought in bulk to take advantages of economies of scale - due to their low price, profit margins are often small so the sale of large quantities over a short period of time is vital to make worthwhile.

FMCG's can be split into highly perishable and non-highly perishable goods. Highly perishable goods include meats, vegetables, fruit, and bakery items - anything that has a reasonably short shelf life. In contrast, products such as wine, beer and spirits, canned foods and toiletries have a longer shelf life and do not perish quickly. Nonetheless, these products are in high demand and as a result product turnover is high; they do not spend long on the supermarket shelves.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods are recognised as being a frequent consumer purchase, and what that involves a low level of risk and/or emotion.
