Kevytkulutushyödykkeet

Kevytkulutushyödykkeet, often translated as light consumer goods or non-durable goods, refer to products that are typically used up or consumed relatively quickly, usually within a single use or over a short period. This contrasts with durable goods, which are designed for longer-term use. Examples of kevytkulutushyödykkeet include food items, beverages, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and paper products.

The purchase of these goods is generally considered less significant than that of durable goods, often driven by immediate needs and routine consumption patterns. Their production and distribution are usually characterized by high volume and lower individual unit prices. Due to their short lifespan, these items are frequently repurchased, contributing to a continuous demand for them in the market. Their classification as "light" or "non-durable" emphasizes their perishable or rapidly consumed nature.
