The FMCG industry in India The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest in the Indian economy and has a market size of $13.1 billion and represents nearly 2.5% of the country’s GDP. This industry includes the production, distribution and marketing of consumer packaged goods such as food and beverage, personal care, pharmaceuticals, plastic goods, paper and stationery and household products etc. Recruitment consultants reveal that the segment is growing at a rapid pace with well-established channels of distribution. This has given rise to cut-throat competition between the family owned small-time distributors and the organised FMCG sector. Recruitment firms have predicted that a huge potential market for the FMCG industry exists in the middle class and the rural segments of the Indian population as this is a market waiting to be converted to branded products. Market surveys followed by recruitment agencies show that as of now rural India accounts for more than 700 mn consumers or 50% of the total population. Market analysts and recruitment companies expect FMCG companies to continue seeing growth from shoppers buying branded goods for the first time by creating an ecosystem of sales, discounts and promotions. Hiring robust in FMCG industry in India

As an experienced recruitment agency, Wizmatrix’s research shows that the growth of jobs in 2014 will be a mixed bag, but that the Fast Moving Consumer Goods Industry (FMCG) will continue to hire vigorously. Thus FMCG is once again proving to be a recession-proof sector. Rising consumer incomes and upswing in consumer incomes underpin the strength of this trend.

Leading FMCG companies have continued to invest in hiring in the range of 3 per cent to 4 per cent with an eye on the robust growth forecast. The demand for fresh manpower in the FMCG industry is expected to be high mainly in sales and marketing.

Since the number of outlets and formats in the FMCG has diversified significantly in the last couple of years, it is natural that all the players in the industry are competing for a share in the same talent pool.
