Overview of Industry Structure and Development
Global economy continues to present a mixed picture. Multiple factors like the on-going
geopolitical conflicts, wide-spread elevation of debt, extreme weather conditions and
elections in many parts of the world continue to contribute to the uncertainty of the
Global Economic Outlook. Encouragingly, inflation has softened over the highs of the
previous year and is expected to continue to moderate. Country variations will continue,
with different parts of the world growing at varied pace. The FMCG industry is India's
fourth-largest sector, making it a significant contributor to the country's economic
growth by fuelling consumption, generating employment, and boosting manufacturing. Over
the years, this sector has demonstrated remarkable agility in overcoming challenges and
adapting to meet evolving consumer needs, shaping its trajectory for sustainable growth.
In FY 2023-24, the FMCG industry witnessed a challenging year due to weather vagaries
impacting agricultural output and consumer sentiment. As a result of this, while the
industry witnessed sequential easing of inflation, volumes have been recovering gradually
albeit readjusting with a lag. Three continuous years of sustained inflation prior to FY
2023-24 has impacted disposable income, especially in rural areas. This has resulted in a
slower pace of recovery in rural and mass segments while urban and premium segments have
been resilient. Notwithstanding the volume sluggishness seen in recent times, the Indian
FMCG industry presents a compelling growth narrative. This is fuelled by several key
factors - Digital Revolution; Fastest growing major economy; Per-capita FMCG consumption
& low penetration; Favourable Demographics and Rising Affluence.
Despite the volatile business environment prevailing during the year, your Company
emerged with more resilience and ensure availability of products and overcome volatility
in prices of essential commodities through prudent procurement decisions. Moreover, the
Company expanded its distribution footprint in rural areas of the country which enabled
good growth in focus states despite the generally subdued rural demand.
Outlook
The foreseeable future of Indian industry looks promising with strong growth forecasts
and an expectation of leading the next phase of global growth. Your Company's growth will
largely depend on the strategic management of pricing, inflation and various global
factors.
Amidst rising competition, fluctuating commodity prices and climatic changes, your
Company is expected to grow continuously on the strength of Indian & Imported brands,
cost efficiencies and an ever-expanding distribution network. These attributes will play a
significant role in your Company's success in the years to come.
Opportunities and Strengths
We aim to continue driving growth led by improvement in distribution and premiumization
while looking at strategic cost optimization opportunities across the value chain. We are
leveraging our strengths in distribution, operational excellence and institutionalizing
benchmark practices in customer engagement and delivery processes to create a strong
platform to build future businesses. The new manufacturing plant (food products) is the
future engine of growth and have the potential to scale over time. We are committed to
operate and grow the business in a responsible way.
Risks, Threats and Concerns
The Indian economy has shown resilience and maintained its strength despite challenging
circumstances. It may, however experience stress in the upcoming months due to
geopolitical tensions and muted global financial forecasts. Sustaining your Company's
strong performance will be dependent on effective management of input prices and economic
downturns to achieve positive outcomes in terms of both value and volume. Further, the
potential for growth may get affected by increasing consumer sensitivity to pricing amidst
intense competition and decline in purchasing power. Key threats to our business include
changing consumer preferences, volatility in commodity and currency, inflation, intense
competition & competitive brand rivalry, economic downturns, import restrictions and
concentration of retailers in developed markets.
We took strategic pricing interventions to mitigate some of the effects of input cost
inflation while protecting the interests of the consumers.
