FMCG stands for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods. These are everyday consumer products that are sold quickly and at a relatively low cost. FMCG products are typically consumed or used on a frequent basis and have a relatively short shelf life. They are also referred to as consumer packaged goods (CPG).

FMCG products encompass a wide range of items that are commonly found in households and include food and beverages, personal care products, household cleaning products, toiletries, over-the-counter drugs, and other consumables. International examples of FMCG brands include Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, among many others. However, local brands play a much more important role in Egypt's economy.

FMCG companies often operate on high volumes and low profit margins due to intense competition in the market. They typically rely on mass production, extensive distribution networks, and advertising and marketing campaigns to promote their products and capture consumer demand. The fast-moving nature of FMCG products means they have a high rate of turnover, requiring companies to constantly innovate and adapt to changing consumer preferences and market trends.

These products are typically available in supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery stores, and other retail outlets. They are often purchased frequently and in relatively small quantities by consumers for immediate consumption or use. Due to their essential nature and widespread demand, FMCG products play a significant role in the global consumer goods industry. Here is a general overview of the main FMCG product groups:

Food and Beverages: This category includes various food products such as packaged snacks, beverages, dairy products, confectionery, bakery products, and canned/packaged foods. Within this category, some of the largest segments include soft drinks, dairy products, and packaged snacks.

Personal Care Products: This category includes personal hygiene and beauty products such as soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, oral care products, skincare products, and grooming items. Market leaders in this category often include multinational companies like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and L'Oréal.

Household and Cleaning Products: This category comprises products used for household cleaning, laundry, and home care, including detergents, cleaning agents, air fresheners, and other related items. Companies like Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser, and Henkel are prominent players in this segment.
