Another tough year for FMCG?

Feeling blue
Indian consumer staple companies faced a challenging year in 2024. While rural demand showed some signs of recovery, urban demand weakened, subduing overall consumption trends. Limited price hikes further weighed on revenue growth.
"Our universe reported a -5% volume growth," said analysts at Jefferies India in a 6 January report. Sure, 2024 brought relief on input cost inflation but a few key inputs have been seeing pressure in recent months. Overall, FY25 earnings per share (EPS) growth is estimated at about 3%, the lowest in almost a decade, pointed out Jefferies.
As 2025 unfolds, immediate relief seems unlikely. December quarter (Q3FY25) results are expected to reflect price hikes, partially offset by subdued volume growth driven by weak urban demand.
