Analyst Review

As per Eshwar Prasad (Analyst) from Allied Market Research, the global FMCG market is poised for prolonged, consumption-driven growth through 2031 driven by five long-term structural forces: global population growth, rising per-capita income in emerging markets, rapid adoption of e-commerce, health and wellness megatrend, and premiumization permeating into everyday consumer goods categories.

Allied Market Research remarked, "Volume is no more the sole focus of the FMCG market; value and health along with digital availability have become leading parameters for industry growth. The fastest-growing segments - healthcare and contract-based manufacturing - are emblematic of a market that is diversifying both what it makes and how it makes it. Firms that align their product roadmaps with the imperatives of sustainability, health and digital commerce will be in prime position to take advantage of 2020s next wave of growth in that market."

Asia-Pacific will continue to be the leading and fastest growing regional market until 2031, with India leading what is likely to become one of the most significant shifts in global demand for Fast Moving Consumer Goods. This approach will sustain value leadership for North America and Europe through premiumization digital commerce while presenting attractive greenfield growth prospects in LAMEA, but only for those operators willing to invest heavily upstream into distribution infrastructure and downstream into a localized product strategy. The intersection of sustainability, health consciousness, and omnichannel retail is the front line of competition for global FMCG in the next decade.
