Industry Overview


Some of the top competitors of Ruchi Soya are listed below, along with their respective market capitalisations:
  • Adani Wilmar: ₹84,759 crore
  • Gujarat Ambuja Exports Limited: ₹5,326 crore
  • Agro Tech Foods: ₹1,876 crore

Among the several nations that produce oilseeds, India is a significant producer. Of the various oilseed crops produced, India has the highest acreage and production of groundnut, rapeseed/mustard, sesame, and coconut. However, India is the biggest consumer of edible oil.

The 2020–2027 forecast period predicts a strong Indian edible oil market expansion. It is a result of people's growing preference for pure, unfiltered, and nutritious oil. Customers are picking premium edible oils more frequently because they have become more involved with their health and wellness.

Canola oil, olive oil, and rice bran oil are examples of premium or value-added edible oils that are driven by the increased prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders like diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension. The expansion of India's edible oil industry will be aided by the country's expanding economy and population base in the forecast periods.


Risks and concerns


The major challenges of the FMCG industry are as follows:
  • Continuously changing marketing strategies: Consumer demands are rapidly changing and that demands a change in the marketing strategy. FMCG industries are required to adapt to these changes, use their strengths and utilise them in the right marketing channels, to build an approach to market the products to customers.
  • Rising cost and prices: Because of the rise in input prices like selling price and administrative expenses, the profit margin is reducing slowly. Though most consumer goods companies are able to forward the cost to their consumers, it is not likely to occur when the earnings of a company are pressured.
  • Hindrance in growth due to local competition: For FMCG companies, the revenues need to be very strong in order to support them to emerge in larger markets. The competition is locally high, which may hinder the path to emerging in such markets.
  • Risks from sourcing of material: When producing goods that require raw material to be fetched from different parts of the world, it poses location specific risks like costs, taxes, and market position. With more diversification, too, more tentative problems may occur.
  • Disruption in the supply chain: The FMCG market is associated with rapid and agile, large-scale production of products. It records a lot of logistical details as it remains close to customers through retail. A disruption in the supply chain, therefore, will pose a problem for an FMCG company.
