High natural rubber prices to impact profitability of tyre makers: CRISIL

Inflated natural rubber prices which are way above the trend in the past decade could impact the profitability of tyre manufacturers, according to CRISIL Market Intelligence & Analytics. Tyre makers are headed for a rough patch as the price of natural rubber has surged more than 33 per cent on-year in just the first five months of this fiscal amid strong demand and crunched supply, which could strain profitability, CRISIL said in a statement. The domestic prices of natural rubber closed in August at Rs 238 per kg on average, way above the trend in the past decade, it added. CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics, Director-Research Pushan Sharma said between fiscals 2011 and 2023, global rubber production grew 35 per cent while demand expanded 40 per cent resulting in a supply crunch thereby resulting in higher prices. "With further rise in demand and restricted supply, the prices of natural rubber are expected to remain elevated, impacting the margins of tyre manufacturers well .

US Fed rate cut to help emerging nations in taking similar step: CRISIL

The US Fed rate cut of 50 basis points will make it easier for the central bank in emerging countries, including India, to slash key policy rates, Crisil Chief Economist D K Joshi said on Thursday. Joshi also said Crisil is expecting food inflation to come down for FY25 if monsoon does not play spoilsport at the end of the season. "US Fed rate cut makes it easier for central banks in emerging countries, including India, to cut rates. But rate cuts in India, I think, will happen when there is a durable reduction in food inflation. And we do expect durable inflation to take place because higher than normal monsoon rains are playing out this year. So, the stars have aligned for rate cuts to happen in India," Joshi told PTI. "Our forecast is that the RBI may cut key policy rates within this calendar year," he said. Late Wednesday, the US Federal Open Market Committee voted to cut the federal funds rate target range by 50 bps to 4.75-5 per cent, from 5.25-5.50 per cent, against ...

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 ...
