3. INTRODUCTION TO FMCG COMPANIES
The Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry primarily deals with the production,
distribution and marketing of consumer packaged goods, i.e. those categories of products that are
consumed at regular intervals. Examples include food & beverage, personal care,
pharmaceuticals, plastic goods, paper & stationery and household products etc. The industry is
vast and offers a wide range of job opportunities in functions such as sales, supply chain,
finance, marketing, operations, purchasing, human resources, product development and general
management.
In India, the FMCG industry is the fourth largest sector with a total (organized) market size of
over US$15 billion in 2007, as per ASSOCHAM, and can be classified under the premium and
popular segments. The premium segment (25%) caters mostly to the higher/upper middle income
consumers while the price sensitive popular or mass segment (75%) consists of consumers
belonging mainly to the semi-urban or rural areas who are not, and cannot afford to be, brand
conscious. The market growth over the past 5 years has been phenomenal, primarily due to
consumers’ growing disposable income which is directly linked to an increased demand for
FMCG goods and services. Indeed, it is widely acknowledged that the large young population in
the rural and semi-urban regions is driving demand growth, with the continuous rise in their
disposable income, life style, food habits etc. On the supply side, the wide availability of raw
materials, vast agricultural produce, low cost of labor and increased organized retail have helped
the competitiveness of players.
FMCG sector in India play a very important role in economy. It is the fourth largest sector in our
economy with a market size of more than US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC presence and is
characterized by a well-established distribution network, intense competition between the
organized and unorganized segments and low operational cost. There are more comparative
advantage to FMCG companies in India as raw material availability, cheaper labour cost, and
presence across the entire value chain. FMCG companies are among the top contenders that
pursue the brand positioning process to establish their products in the market. Despite recent
inflationary pressures and price hikes, various FMCG companies continued their growth
momentum through product diversification and introducing new variants of the existing
products. Moreover the FMCG companies are also successful in passing on the increasing cost to
consumers through a well-thought-out blend of price hikes, reduction in packaged size and
alternative product mix. The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$
33.4 billion in 2015.
