Dabur India sees sequential improvement in demand in December quarter

The demand trends witnessed "sequential improvement" in the December quarter, although rural growth was still lagging urban growth, according to homegrown FMCG major Dabur India. In its latest quarterly updates, early signs of revival in consumption are visible with improving trends in volumes. "With pricing growth remaining subdued due to price increases in the base year, growth is large volume led," Dabur India said. The company, which owns various brands, including Dabur Chyawanprash, Dabur Honey, Dabur Pudin Hara, Dabur Amla, Real and Vatika, expects to register "mid to high single-digit growth during Q3 FY24" in its revenue. In the domestic business, the food & beverages segment is expected to grow in the high-single-digit and HPC (home & personal care) is expected to record growth in the mid-single digit. "Because of delay in onset of the winter season, we anticipate the Health Care business to grow in low to mid single digit," it said. Besides, Badshah Masala continued .

2 Dabur firms get relief in lawsuits in US, 3rd entity to face charges

In a relief to FMCG major Dabur, two of its foreign subsidiaries, Dabur International and Dermoviva Skin Essentials, have been removed as a defendant in multiple lawsuits filed in a US court over allegations that their hair-relaxer products caused ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and other related health issues. However, lawsuits filed against its third international subsidiary Namaste Laboratories LLC, would continue before the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, according to a statement from Dabur on Wednesday.

Good recovery in rural mkts, hopeful to grow at par with urban: Dabur CEO

Home-grown FMCG major Dabur India is seeing "very good recovery" in rural markets and expects growth from these markets to come at par with the urban market in the next 3-4 quarters, CEO Mohit Malhotra said. As inflation is coming down with the cooling of commodity prices, a "slow volume recovery" is happening in those markets, which is narrowing the difference between the growth rate between rural and urban, he said. The recovery from the rural market is likely to continue despite a disruption in rain in some parts of the country, led by factors such as hike in MSP, good sowing of winter crops, and election season. Besides, India's unemployment rate has decreased in the rural areas and the consumer confidence index is also at an all-time high, almost reaching the pre-COVID level, he added. "There are definite very good recovery signs, which actually I am seeing. The festive season which is coming in, should augur very well for us going forward in the future. So I am very hopeful,"
