forbruksartikler

Forbruksartikler is a Norwegian term that translates to "consumables" or "consumer goods" in English. It refers to products that are intended for direct use or consumption by individuals. These are typically items that are used up relatively quickly and need to be replaced regularly, as opposed to durable goods which are designed for longer-term use.

The category of forbruksartikler is very broad and encompasses a wide range of everyday items. This includes groceries such as food and beverages, personal care products like soap, shampoo, and toothpaste, cleaning supplies for the home, paper products such as toilet paper and tissues, and even items like batteries or light bulbs that have a limited lifespan. In a business context, forbruksartikler can also refer to office supplies, printer ink, or other materials that are used up in the course of operations. The key characteristic is their finite nature and the recurring need for purchase. Understanding the concept of forbruksartikler is fundamental to comprehending consumer behavior and the retail industry, as these items form a significant portion of household and business spending.
