About the FMCG Industry

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) is dedicated to providing essential and perishable goods to the general population. From a consumer perspective, this generally means all products that are bought frequently, are low-priced, and have a short shelf life, such as packaged food, household goods, and over-the-counter medicines among others.

As such, the FMCG industry relies on efficient supply chains, wide-reaching distribution networks, and a workforce specialised in jobs as varied as packaging design and logistics. FMCG is a highly competitive industry, where majority market share is swapping hands frequently, so people applying to work in the sector need to be able to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.

Despite the challenges, the FMCG industry is a rewarding and exciting industry to be a part of, where your efforts are reflected in the wellbeing of people around the country on a daily basis.
