Consumer goods – manufacturing and marketing
Consumer goods are any products bought to be used directly by consumers, rather than being bought by manufacturers to be used in the production of other goods. Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) are usually high-volume, low-cost products that are sold quickly and in large quantities, such as toiletries, cosmetics, cleaning products, food and drink. Roles in the industry cover every stage of the product lifecycle, from researching and developing new ideas to marketing the final product. Here are the top ten employers in the sector.
