The FMCG sector in India grew rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s but then lost momentum due to a lack of innovation by companies and the introduction of new product types. However, consumer willingness to upgrade to better products helped revive the FMCG sector in the 2010s. The FMCG sector is the 4th largest in India and includes household care, personal care, and food and beverage products. Hindustan Unilever Ltd., Procter & Gamble, and ITC are the top three FMCG companies in India. The sector has significant growth opportunities due to India's large population and vast rural markets.
