Fastmoving

Fastmoving is an adjective used to describe objects or processes that move with high speed or undergo rapid change. In written language, it is typically hyphenated as fast-moving when used to modify a noun, e.g., fast-moving vehicle. In some brands or digital contexts, 'fastmoving' may appear as a single word.

In physics, fast-moving describes particles or bodies with substantial velocity. Depending on the frame of reference, speeds may be relativistic; at high fractions of the speed of light, relativistic effects become important, including time dilation and length contraction. In everyday contexts, 'fast-moving' often means much faster than average motion, such as a fast-moving car or athlete.

In business and logistics, 'fast-moving' is used in the term fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), referring to products that sell quickly and have short shelf lives, such as food, beverages, and personal care items. These goods are characterized by high turnover, broad distribution, and high demand variability. Inventory management and supply chain planning focus on minimizing stockouts while reducing holding costs.

In media and information, a fast-moving news cycle describes rapid changes in events that require quick reporting and updating of information.

Overall, fastmoving or fast-moving highlights speed as a key attribute across domains, from physical motion to market dynamics and information flow.
