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.
With increasing consumer awareness, businesses must navigate complex legal and regulatory frameworks, including consumer protection laws, e-commerce compliance, FDI regulations, taxation, intellectual property (IP) protection, and advertising standards.
