The general trade channel, also known as kirana stores, experienced slow volume growth in single digits in the FMCG sector during the December quarter. On the other hand, modern trade continued to see double-digit growth rates. FMCG companies such as HUL and Marico observed that modern trade outpaced general trade in terms of growth. This divergence between the two channels is attributed to the prevailing consumption pattern and rising costs faced by general trade. FMCG players are also experiencing double-digit growth in the e-commerce channel.

- Marico has seen a mid-single digit volume growth in the September quarter in its domestic business, with rural demand outperforming urban demand for the third quarter in a row. - The company expects a double-digit revenue growth for the year and will closely monitor inflation in copra prices, duty hike in vegetable oils, and potential uncertainty in crude prices. - Marico's Value Added Hair Oils business saw subdued growth due to increased competition in the bottom of the pyramid segment, but the demand outlook remains positive. - Parachute Coconut Oil witnessed close to mid-single digit volume growth, partially impacted by the reduction in one of its key price-point packs. - The Saffola brand recorded low single-digit revenue growth, indicating stable input and consumer pricing with a slightly favorable pricing cycle.

MC Graphixstory | FIIs cut stake in frontline FMCG stocks on weak sales growth in Q3

Foreign investors have reduced their stake in leading fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in India due to weak volume sales growth in the third quarter of 2024. Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Nestle India, Britannia Industries, and Dabur India all saw decreases in foreign institutional investor (FII) holdings. The decline in FMCG stocks has been attributed to sluggish rural demand and challenges such as erratic rains and low savings induced by the pandemic. However, mid-sized FMCG firms experienced increased FII investments. Analysts expect a rebound in the sector driven by economic stimuli and a hike in minimum support prices.

Analysts predict low-to-mid-single-digit volume growth driven by urban markets. The impact of high inflation on consumption is a concern, particularly in the mass segment. However, analysts anticipate a rebound in volume growth in the coming months. QSRs are expected to report muted demand.

Consumer goods company Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) has revealed a new strategy focused on capitalising on increasing household income and consumer preference for premium products.

In August, automobile companies experienced a decline in sales volume for both passengers and commercial vehicles. Weak retail demand, monsoon season, and high inventory levels were cited as factors impacting the PV and CV segments. However, there was a high single-digit growth in domestic two-wheeler sales driven by festival season preparations. The electric two-wheeler segment saw a significant surge in retail sales. Tractor sales remained flat due to uneven rainfall distribution. Major companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, and Tata Motors reported varying sales figures for the month of August.

Honasa Consumer, the owner of skincare brand Mamaearth, has announced plans to restructure its offline distribution model. The move follows single-digit growth for Mamaearth in FY24, compared to the overall double-digit revenue increase for Honasa. The company aims to establish a stronger infrastructure of direct distribution, reducing the layers between the company and retail outlets. Honasa expects cost savings and increased sales visibility from the restructuring, but acknowledges a potential 2-5% impact on the topline in the near term. Mamaearth's offline sales accounted for approximately half of its revenue when the company went public in 2023.
