FMCG makers see impact of erratic weather on topline growth in Q1FY26

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) makers are expecting their topline growth to be impacted in the June quarter due to headwinds like unseasonal rains, a brief summer span and inflation pressure on key inputs. However, the FMCG industry witnessed a sequential recovery in demand during the quarter, with an uptick in volume growth, particularly in urban markets. Margins of FMCG majors such as Marico, Dabur, and Godrej Consumer remained below the normative level, and they expect a low-single-digit volume growth in the April-June period. Godrej Consumer Products expects its margin from the India business to stay below the 'normative range' in the June quarter, but is likely to deliver high-single-digit value growth aided by volume expansion. The company's volume growth, in its standalone business, has been strongly competitive and is sequentially improving, said the Godrej Industries Group FMCG arm in its quarterly updates. "Standalone EBITDA margin in Q1FY26 is likely to be below our

FMCG firms may register low single-digit revenue growth in FY25: Report

FMCG firms are expected to register a 5 per cent rise in revenue with almost flat margin growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024-25, according to a report from banking firm BNP Paribas India. The report also lowered the earnings estimates for FY26 for the companies under its coverage, except for Godrej Consumer Products and Emami. However, it sees a "favourable base" in FY26 for the FMCG sector, helped by some near-term positives like the drop in crude price and positive trends for rural growth. "We expect our FMCG coverage revenue growth to inch up slightly from 4 per cent in 3QFY25 to 5 per cent in 4QFY25, led by Marico, which should see strong revenue growth helped by commodity inflation, and recovery in growth for GCPL, led by its home care division," BNP Paribas said in its India Consumer Report April 2025.
