Industry Overview
The overall fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 14.7 per cent to US$ 110.4 billion during 2012–2020, with the rural FMCG market expected to
increase at a CAGR of 17.7 per cent to US$ 100 billion during 2011–2025.
Rising incomes and growing youth population have been key growth drivers for the sector. Brand consciousness
has also aided demand. It is estimated that First Time Modern Trade Shoppers (FTMTS) spend will reach US$ 1
billion by 2015.
The Government of India's policies and regulatory frameworks such as relaxation of license rules and approval of
51 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand and 100 per cent in single-brand retail are some of the
major growth drivers in this sector. The government has also amended the Sugarcane Control Order, 1966, and
replaced the Statutory Minimum Price (SMP) of sugarcane with Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) and the State
Advised Price (SAP).
There is a lot of scope for growth in the FMCG sector from rural markets with consumption expected to grow in
these areas as penetration of brands increases. Also, with rising per capita income, which is projected to expand
at a CAGR of 7.4 per cent over the period 2013-19, the FMCG sector is anticipated to witness some major growth.
The industry has witnessed healthy foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, as the sector accounted for 3 per cent
of the country’s total FDI inflow in the period April 2000 to October 2013. Organised retail share is expected to
double to 14–18 per cent of the overall retail market by 2015.
The FMCG market is set to treble US$ 33.4 billion in 2015. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in
most product categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low indicating the untapped
market potential.
The Indian FMCG industry represents nearly 2.5% of the country’s GDP.
The industry has tripled in size in past 10 years and has grown at ~17%CAGR in the last 5 years driven by
rising income levels, increasing urbanization, strong rural demand and favourable demographic trends.
The sector accounted for 1.9% of the nation’s total FDI inflows in April 2000- September 2012. Cumulative
FDI inflows into India from April 2000 to April 2013 in the food processing sector stood at Rs. 9,000.3 crore,
accounting for 0.96% of overall FDI inflows while the soaps, cosmetics and toiletries, accounting for 0.32% of
overall FDI at Rs. 3,115.5 crore.
Food products and personal care together make up two-third of the sector’s revenues.
Rural India accounts for more than 700 mn consumers or 70% of the Indian population and accounts for
50% of the total FMCG market.
With changing lifestyle and increasing consumer demand, the Indian FMCG market is expected to cross $80
bn by 2026 in towns with population of up to 10 lakh.
India's labor cost is amongst the lowest in the world, after China & Indonesia, giving it a competitive
advantage over other countries.
Household care
The fabric wash market size is estimated to be ~USD 1 billion, household cleaners to be USD 239 million, with
the production of synthetic detergents at 2.6 million tonnes. The demand for detergents has been growing at an
annual growth rate of 10 to 11% during the past five years
Personal Care (HPC)
The personal care products (PCP) market in India is estimated to be worth ~USD 4 bn p.a. Personal hygiene
products (including bath and shower products, deodorants etc.), hair care, skin care, colour cosmetics and
fragrances are the key segments of the personal care market.
Food & Beverages
Food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India, ranking fifth in terms of production, growth,
consumption, and export. The total value of Indian food processing industry is expected to touch USD 194 billion
by 2015 from a value of USD 121 billion in 2012, according to Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
Conclusion
While the rural market certainly offers a big attraction to marketers, it would be naïve to think that any company
can enter the market without facing any problems and walk away with a sizable share. Distribution is the most
important variable in the marketing plans of most consumer goods manufacturers, because managing such a
massive sales and distribution network is in itself a huge task.
This sector will continue to see growth as it depends on an ever-increasing internal market for consumption, and
demand for these goods remains more or less constant, irrespective of recession or inflation. Hence this sector
will grow, though it may not be a smooth growth path, due to the present world-wide economic slowdown, rising
inflation and fall of the rupee. This sector will see good growth in the long run and hiring will continue to remain
robust.
As people are demonstrating an increasing interest in online shopping, future prospects pose a tremendous
growth opportunity for retail and FMCG players alike.
The market size of the Indian FMCG sector is expected to reach US$ 135 billion by 2020 from US$ 44.9 billion in
2013. It is also the fourth largest sector in the Indian economy and has grown at an annual average of about 11
per cent over the last decade. Food products, the leading market segment with 43 per cent of the overall market
revenue together with personal care at 22 per cent make up two-thirds of the sector's revenue.
