The consumer goods and retail industry in India is witnessing rapid growth and transformation, driven by e-commerce expansion, digital payments, and evolving consumer preferences. The sector spans FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), luxury retail, food and beverages, personal care, apparel, and electronics, among others.
