The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is poised for robust growth, driven primarily by a recovery in rural demand, which has begun to outpace urban consumption, according to LKP report.

UPTICK IN RURAL DEMAND TO DRIVE GROWTH IN FMCG SECTOR

For the first time in five quarters, rural consumption volumes have exceeded urban growth, marking a significant shift in market dynamics.

According to Nielsen, rural consumption grew at an impressive 7.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY) during the first quarter of calendar year 2024 (Q1CY24), compared to a 5.7 per cent YoY growth in urban areas.

This resurgence in rural demand is a stark contrast to previous quarters, where inflationary pressures and sluggish income growth had stifled consumption in rural India.
