FMCG sector to see 7-9% revenue growth this fiscal: CRISIL Ratings

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is expected to see revenue growth of 7-9 per cent this fiscal, according to a report released by CRISIL Ratings on Saturday. The expected revenue increase this financial year (2024-25) will be supported by higher volume growth on the back of a revival in rural and steady urban demand. The estimated growth of the FMCG sector in 2023-24 was 5-7 per cent. The report said product realisation is expected to grow in single digits with a marginal rise in prices of key raw materials for the food and beverage (F&B) segment. However, the prices of key raw materials for the personal care and home care segments are likely to be stable. CRISIL Ratings Director Rabindra Verma said, "Revenue growth will vary across product segments and firms. The F&B segment is expected to grow 8-9 per cent this fiscal, aided by improving rural demand. The personal care segment is likely to grow by 6-7 per cent, and the home care by 8-9 per cent."

FMCG sector may see 7-9% revenue growth in FY25 on rural recovery: CRISIL

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is expected to see a revenue growth of 7 to 9 per cent this fiscal, helped by higher sales volume and a revival of rural markets, Crisil Ratings said in a report. Volume growth from urban consumers will also remain steady at 7 to 8 per cent supported by rising disposable incomes and continued focus on premium offerings by the industry players, especially in the personal care and home care segments, it said. Moreover, the premiumisation trend and growth in volume will expand the operating margin of FMCG companies "by 50-75 basis points to 20-21 per cent", it said. "The margin expansion would have been higher but for rising selling and marketing expenses amid heightened competition among organised and unorganised players alike," the report added. The product realisations in FY25 are "expected to grow in low single digits with a marginal rise in prices of key raw materials for the food and beverages (F&B) segment", however, key raw ...
