With the increasing global concern to protect the environment, “Turning Green” is becoming a new mantra of success in any business. On the other side, green consumerism is also now becoming a trend where consumers are more concerned about their environment and surroundings and are looking for products that are environment friendly and do not bring any harm to the society so companies are also doing their best in adopting green production process. This research paper aims to study consumer's purchase behavior towards eco-friendly products in FMCG sector by using various demographic variables and also to find out if there is any gender influence in their purchase of green products. With the support of various literature, some of the factors that influence the purchase behavior are environment consciousness, ecolabels and packaging, gender-based attitude & perceived product quality.
