FMCG Sector Adapts with Digital Channels, Quick-Commerce, and Advertising ShiftsPreviousNext

FMCG companies are adapting to changing consumer behaviors by shifting from traditional shelf-based sales to digital and quick-commerce platforms. Research shows that nearly 90% of households purchase FMCG products across multiple channels, with convenience increasingly driving online shopping. Quick-commerce platforms like Zepto and Swiggy are expanding private-label offerings into fresh produce, aiming for higher margins. Studies also indicate that combining TV and digital advertising enhances brand reach more effectively than digital alone, highlighting the evolving marketing strategies in the FMCG sector.
