growth. Company maintained its market leadership position in Household Insecticides and continued to gain market share

on a year-on-year basis for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased by 50 bps, led by cost savings initiatives.

During the quarter, the company has launched HIT Expert Long Lasting Magic Paper to up trade coil consumers.

GAUM (Africa, USA and Middle East)

GAUM cluster had a relatively soft quarter with a constant currency sales growth of 4%. Sales in the quarter was

impacted by weakness in South Africa. The West cluster continued to deliver strong growth and the East cluster is

showing early signs of recovery. Business excluding the South grew in high single-digits, in constant currency terms.

largest contributor to the overall revenue generated by the FMCG sector in India and recorded a market size of around

US$ 29.4 billion in 2016-17. However, in the last few years, the FMCG market has grown at a faster pace in rural India

compared with urban India. Semi-urban and rural segments are growing at a rapid pace and FMCG products account for

50 per cent of total rural spending.

The Retail market in India is estimated to reach US$ 1.1 trillion by 2020 from US$ 672 billion in 2016, with modern trade

expected to grow at 20 per cent - 25 per cent per annum, which is likely to boost revenues of FMCG companies. In 2016-

17, revenue for FMCG sector have reached US$ 49 billion and is expected to grow at 9-9.5 per cent in FY18 supported by

expectations of the total consumption expenditure reaching nearly US$ 3,600 billion by 2020 from US$ 1,469 billion in

2015.

Government initiatives:

Some of the major initiatives taken by the government to promote the FMCG sector in India are as follows:

In the Union Budget 2017-18, the Government of India has proposed to spend more on the rural side with an aim to

double the farmer’s income in five years; as well as the cut in income tax rate targeting mainly the small tax payers,

focus on affordable housing and infrastructure development will provide multiple growth drivers for the consumer

market industry.

The Government of India’s decision to allow 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in online retail of goods

and services through the automatic route has provided clarity on the existing businesses of e-commerce companies

operating in India.

With the demand for skilled labour growing among Indian industries, the government plans to train 500 million

people by 2022 and is also encouraging private players and entrepreneurs to invest in the venture. Many governments,

corporate and educational organizations are working towards providing training and education to create a skilled

workforce.

The Government of India has drafted a new Consumer Protection Bill with special emphasis on setting up an

extensive mechanism to ensure simple, speedy, accessible, affordable and timely delivery of justice to consumers.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is beneficial for the FMCG industry as many of the FMCG products such as

Soap, Toothpaste and Hair oil now come under 18 per cent tax bracket against the previous 23-24 per cent rate.

Opportunities:

The company continued to make strong progress on its exciting journey to be a leading FMCG player in emerging

markets. The future potential for GCPL is tremendous.

Company’s focus continues to be on driving market leading, sustainable and profitable growth.

Creating delight for its consumers through innovative, differentiated products, is core to its approach. To enable this,

Company is using the design thinking tools of empathy, rapid prototyping and visualization to re-imagine its brands

and create new ones.

The company is accelerating its innovation pipeline, ramping up capabilities, investing significantly in Research &

Development and cross-pollinating products across geographies.

The new products launched in the last 5 years account for 20 per cent of global growth and 35 per cent of India

growth. Company is also excited by a lot of the new capabilities and transformations.

Company is exploring in digital, advanced analytics, go-to-market and supply chain technologies. All of this will

enable the company to create strong value in the coming years.

Road Ahead:

Rural consumption has increased, led by a combination of increasing incomes and higher aspiration levels; there is an

increased demand for branded products in rural India. The rural FMCG market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of

14.6 per cent, and reach US$ 220 billion by 2025 from US$ 29.4 billion in 2016.

On the other hand, with the share of un-organized market in the FMCG sector falling, the organized sector growth is

expected to rise with increased level of brand consciousness, also augmented by the growth in modern retail.

Another major factor propelling the demand for food services in India is the growing youth population, primarily in the

country’s urban regions. India has a large base of young consumers who form the majority of the workforce and, due to

time constraints, barely get time for cooking.

Online portals are expected to play a key role for companies trying to enter the hinterlands. The Internet has contributed in

a big way, facilitating a cheaper and more convenient means to increase a company’s reach. By the year 2025, e-

commerce will contribute around 10-15 per cent sales of few categories in the FMCG sector.
