• Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) is the 4th largest sector in the Indian economy and
operates in a monopolistic competition market
• There are a large number of buyers and sellers and the sellers have the power to set
their own price
• The sellers sell a differentiated product and the demand for the products are price
elastic
• The barriers to entry and exit of firms in the market is very low
• There are three main segments in the sector – food and beverages which accounts for 19
per cent of the sector, healthcare which accounts for 31 per cent and household and
personal care which accounts for the remaining 50 per cent.
Shift in the FMCG market
• Before the advent of Patanjali, ayurvedic products were majorly restricted to hair oils and local dietary
supplements
• It created a separate segment for itself where they were the first movers. Therefore, in the short run they had
economic profits. But in the long run, as more competitors entered the market, their profits reduced
• Lifestyle and availability have accelerated the growth in the natural FMCG products.
• Growth in rural disposable income have also significantly contributed to the growth of the sector
