Industry Overview


HUL is India's largest FMCG corporation.

Below is a list of some of HUL's competitors, along with their market capitalisations.
  • ITC: ₹4,26,000 crore
  • Dabur: ₹97,261 crore
  • Marico: ₹63,607 crore
  • P&G: ₹45,327 crore
  • Emami: ₹19,261 crore
The FMCG sector is India's fourth largest in its economy. It is growing strong in recent years as a result of a rising disposable income, rising consumer brand awareness and a growing youth population.

The FMCG industry in India is a significant contributor to the country's GDP, with household and personal care products making up about 50% of all sales.

In India, the FMCG industry is anticipated to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 14.9% from 2020 to 2025, when it is projected to reach almost ₹18 lakh crore from ₹9 lakh crore.

Risks and concerns


Every industry has its constraints, and the FMCG industry is privy to this. The main constraints facing the FMCG industry are:

Small Margins


There are only a few products that have a chance of bringing in better margins because of the fierce industry competition. Customers will switch to similar products from other companies if the given product prices are higher than industry standards. Because of the small margins, it is difficult to increase sales and revenue for companies like HUL.

High Price


On account of advertising and promotion, FMCG products typically cost more. Such practices receive a sizable share of sales and the annual budget. When attempting to capture larger market shares, a company may need to provide certain deals, promotions, or discounts. The consumer's short-term sentiments are affected by this.
