What is slow consumer goods?

Slow consumer goods refer to products that are purchased infrequently and typically have a longer lifespan, such as appliances, furniture, and electronics. Unlike fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), which are bought regularly and consumed quickly, slow consumer goods require more consideration and investment from consumers. This category often emphasizes quality, durability, and long-term value over frequent purchasing. The market for slow consumer goods can be influenced by trends in sustainability and minimalism, as consumers seek products that last longer and have less environmental impact.
