FMCG SECTOR
INTRODUCTION
Products which have a quick turnover, and relatively low cost are
known as Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). FMCG products are those
that get replaced within a year. Examples of FMCG generally include a wide
range of frequently purchased consumer products such as toiletries, soap,
cosmetics, tooth cleaning products, shaving products and detergents, as well
as other non-durables such as glassware, bulbs, batteries, paper products, and
plastic goods. FMCG may also include pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics,
packaged food products, soft drinks, tissue paper, and chocolate bars.
Indiaʹs FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy and
creates employment for more than three million people in downstream
activities. Its principal constituents are Household Care, Personal Care and
Food & Beverages.
The Rs 85,000-crore Indian FMCG industry is expected to register a
healthy growth in the third quarter of 2008-09 despite the economic downturn.
The industry is expected to register a 15% growth in Q3 2008-09 as compared
to the corresponding period last year. Unlike other sectors, the FMCG
industry did not slow down since Q2 2008. the industry is doing pretty well,
bucking the trend. As it is meeting the every-day demands of consumers, it
will continue to grow. In the last two months, input costs have come down
and this will reflect in Q3 and Q4 results.
Market share movements indicate that companies such as Marico Ltd
and Nestle India Ltd, with domination in their key categories, have improved
their market shares and outperformed peers in the FMCG sector.

Swot Analysis

Strengths:

• Low operational costs

• Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural
areas
• Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector

Weaknesses:

• Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of

scale, especially in small sectors
• Low exports levels
• "Me-tooʺ products, which illegally mimic the labels of the established
brands. These products narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural
and semi-urban market.

Opportunities:

• Untapped rural market

• Rising income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers
• Large domestic market- a population of over one billion.
• Export potential
• High consumer goods spending

Threats:

• Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic

brands
• Slowdown in rural demand
• Tax and regulatory structure

Growth Prospect
Large Market

India has a population of more than 1.150 Billions which is just behind China.
According to the estimates, by 2030 India population will be around 1.450
Billion and will surpass China to become the World largest in terms of
population. FMCG Industry which is directly related to the population is
expected to maintain a robust growth rate.

Spending Pattern
An increase is spending pattern has been witnessed in Indian FMCG market.
There is an upward trend in urban as well as rural market and also an increase
in spending in organ-ized retail sector. An increase in disposable income, of
household mainly because of in-crease in nuclear family where both the
husband and wife are earning, has leads to growth rate in FMCG goods.

Changing Profile and Mind Set of Consumer

People are becoming conscious about health and hygienic. There is a change in
the mind set of the Consumer and now looking at “Money for Value” rather
than “Value for Money”. We have seen willingness in consumers to move to
evolved products/ brands, because of changing lifestyles, rising disposable
income etc. Consumers are switching from economy to premium product even
we have witnessed a sharp increase in the sales of packaged water and water
purifier.
Findings according to a recent survey by A. C. Nielsen shows about 71 per
cent of Indian take notice of packaged goodsʹ labels containing nutritional
information compared to two years ago which was only 59 per cent.

Advantages To The Sector

Governmental Policy

Indian Government has enacted policies aimed at attaining international

competitiveness through lifting of the quantitative restrictions, reducing excise
duties, automatic foreign in-vestment and food laws resulting in an
environment that fosters growth. 100 per cent ex-port oriented units can be set
up by government approval and use of foreign brand names is now freely
permitted.
India is second largest
Country in terms of
Popula-
Central & State Initiatives

Recently Government has announced a cut of 4 per cent in excise duty to fight
with the slowdown of the Economy. This announcement has a positive impact
on the industry.
But the benefit from the 4 per cent reduction in excise duty is not likely to be
uniform across FMCG categories or players. The changes in excise duty do not
impact cigarettes (ITC, Godfrey Phillips), biscuits (Britannia Industries, ITC) or
ready-to-eat foods, as these prod-ucts are either subject to specific duty or are
exempt from excise. Even players with manu-facturing facilities located
mainly in tax-free zones will also not see material excise duty savings. Only
large FMCG-makers may be the key ones to bet and gain on excise cut.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Automatic investment approval (including foreign technology agreements
within specified norms), up to 100 per cent foreign equity or 100 per cent for
NRI and Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs) investment, is allowed for most of
the food processing sector except malted food, alcoholic beverages and those
reserved for small scale industries (SSI).
There is a continuous growth in net FDI Inflow. There is an increase of about
150 per cent in Net Inflow for Vegetable Oils & Vanaspati for the year 2008.

Market Opportunities

Vast Rural Market

Rural India accounts for more than 700 Million consumers, or ~70 per cent of
the Indian population and accounts for ~50 per cent of the total FMCG market.
The working rural population is approximately 400 Millions. And an average
citizen in rural India has less then half of the purchasing power as compare to
his urban counterpart. Still there is an untapped market and most of the
FMCG Companies are taking different steps to capture rural market share.
The market for FMCG products in rural India is esti-mated ~ 52 per cent and is
projected to touch ~ 60 per cent within a year. Hindustan Unilever Ltd is the
largest player in the industry and has the widest market coverage.

Export - “Leveraging the Cost Advantage”

Cheap labor and quality product & services have helped India to represent as
a cost ad-vantage over other Countries. Even the Government has offered zero
import duty on capital goods and raw material for 100% export oriented units.
Multi National Companies out-source its product requirements from its
Indian company to have a cost advantage.
India is the largest producer of livestock, milk, sugarcane, coconut, spices and
cashew apart from being the second largest producer of rice, wheat, fruits &
vegetables. It adds a cost advantage as well as easily available raw materials.

Sectoral Opportunities

Major Key Sectoral opportunities for Indian FMCG Sector are mentioned
below:

Dairy Based Products

India is the largest milk producer in the world, yet only around 15 per cent of
the milk is processed. The organized liquid milk business is in its infancy and
also has large long-term growth potential. Even investment opportunities exist
in value-added products like desserts, puddings etc.

Packaged Food

Only about 10-12 per cent of output is processed and consumed in packaged
form, thus highlighting the huge potential for expansion of this industry.

Oral Care

The oral care industry, especially toothpastes, remains under penetrated in

India with penetration rates around 50 per cent. With rise in per capita
incomes and awareness of oral hygiene, the growth potential is huge. Lower
price and smaller packs are also likely to drive potential up trading.

Beverages
Indian tea market is dominated by unorganized players. More than 50% of the
market share is capture by unorganized players highlighting high potential for
organized players.
