The document discusses the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry in India. It analyzes the industry using Porter's Five Forces model. The FMCG industry is characterized by high volume and low cost products with short shelf lives that are sold through extensive distribution networks. The industry faces high rivalry among existing players who compete on price, promotions, distribution, and new products. Potential entrants face barriers like requirements for strong distribution networks and brands. Buyers have low bargaining power due to many alternatives. Suppliers also have low bargaining power.
