Having endured the economic slowdown in the past, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector has once again shown resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic last fiscal. The essential nature of its products and healthy rural demand last fiscal worked in its favour.
FMCG companies launched innumerable products corresponding to the rise in demand for health and hygiene products. However, this fiscal, the widespread Covid-19 afflictions in the hinterland during the second wave has brought some moderation in rural growth, but recovery in urban demand will offset the same. With improving discretionary demand, progress in vaccination and declining Covid-19 cases, overall growth for the FMCG sector is expected to normalize to double digits this fiscal.
