Lifestyle changes majorly drive the FMCG market growth. Moreover, the increase in the global population, growth in awareness of FMCG products, frequent launches of new products, and effective advertisement of the FMCG brands are the other factors that boost the growth of the global FMCG market. The surge in the trend of online shopping, R&D for new brands & products, and expansion of FMCG networks in rural areas of developing countries are expected to open new avenues for the market players in the future. However, high competition among major market players and retail execution is expected to hamper the growth of the global FMCG market.

In the recent decade, there is a trend that consumers are more concerned about their health and personal hygiene, thus preferring a hygienic lifestyle. Consumers select their everyday necessities based on their sanitary compatibility, and their purchase decisions are consequently influenced by their lifestyle. This trend is creating possibilities for the FMCG industry. Companies provide items that are suitable for the lifestyles of their target consumer segment.

Counterfeit brands have evolved as a result of rising costs and the widespread appeal of FMCG brands. Counterfeit brands are popular in developing countries because people are particularly price-concerned. This element restricts the present original FMCG brands' sales in these locations. Customers dislike counterfeit items because they are of low quality and usually give them aggravation and safety issues. An online distribution channel is one of the primary venues where the sale of counterfeit products may be easily concealed. As a result, the spread of the counterfeit industry is expected to stymie the progress of the FMCG sector.

Consumers throughout the globe have embraced e-commerce to varying degrees in a variety of areas, based on their requirements and market circumstances. Developing technology, macroeconomic situations, social contrasts, and a variety of other factors are all influencing the evolution of e-commerce.
