Explanation:
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)

Fast Moving Consumer Goods are a multi-million pound industry. The sector includes groceries, beauty products and home care companies, the majority of which come from large global corporations, who employ people in general management, engineering, IT, finance, human resources, sales, marketing and manufacturing. Those in the industry believe, live and breathe their product, and become obsessed by where it’s sold, who’s using it and what the ads look like. Lots of companies offer the opportunity to travel, and boast attractive graduate training schemes.

Explanation:
FMCGs are low-priced consumer goods sold through mass outlets. They are items of daily use for which there is a high demand. They include all staple products. They are fast moving in the sense that they are sold quickly, i.e. they come onto the supermarket shelves and are sold in no time. They constantly have to be replenished. It would be almost impossible to compile a comprehensive list of such products as they are too numerous. Thus it would be enough to mention a few examples pertaining to the context you are working on.
