The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector represents one of the most high-volume, high-turnover segments of the global economy, making its environmental footprint uniquely profound and visible. This research paper investigates the structural impact of green marketing strategies specifically within the FMCG industry, examining how ecological branding, sustainable packaging, transparent green claims, and dynamic pricing influence contemporary consumer behaviour. Utilizing modern empirical studies, market tracking data, and behavioural models, this study analyses the persistent tension between heightened eco-consciousness and everyday purchasing friction, such as price sensitivity and greenwashing skepticism. The findings indicate that while eco-labeling and sustainable packaging significantly drive brand trust and purchase intent among modern consumers, long-term brand loyalty in the FMCG sector is ultimately secured through absolute transparency, verified supply chain accountability, and competitive parity in pricing.
KEYWORDS
Green marketing in the FMCG sector has evolved from a peripheral corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative into a core driver of competitive advantage. While consumers face ongoing psychological and economic barriers—such as price premiums and historical skepticism—strategic alignment of authentic product formulation, transparent labelling, and accessible pricing bridges the attitude-behavior gap. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies and consumer expectations mature, FMCG brands that embed genuine ecological stewardship into their operational DNA will secure enduring market leadership. Future research should examine longitudinal shifts in post-purchase consumer retention across diverse global economies and evaluate the scalability of circular economy business models within high-turnover consumer goods.
