What made headlines?
FMCG Sector Struggles with Inflation, but Urban Demand Shows Signs of Recovery
India’s FMCG sector is under pressure, with stocks hitting a two-year low due to weak demand and rising costs. The FMCG index closed at 18,317 on March 4, its lowest since June 2023.
A key challenge is soaring commodity prices—coffee has doubled in a year, while wheat and palm oil rose 31% and 20%, respectively. To offset costs, companies have raised prices, with the impact expected in Q4 earnings.
Despite these struggles, urban demand is improving, rising from 2.6% in August to 5% in December. This recovery could strengthen further with government tax relief and potential RBI rate cuts boosting consumer spending.
Not all FMCG categories are slowing. Non-food items like personal care and home care are growing steadily—personal care volume grew from 4.3% to 5.7% in a year, and home care improved to 3.8%. However, Food & Beverages growth slowed from 6.3% to 4.7%. As a result, overall FMCG sector growth declined to 4.1% in Q3 from 6.3% last year.
While inflation and weak demand persist, urban recovery, government support, and resilience in non-food FMCG indicate gradual stabilization. However, a full recovery will depend on broader economic conditions and consumer sentiment.
