Consumer facing companies in the consumer food (CF) and household & personal products (H&P) industry were operational at a much higher capacity than the overall economy. The CF industry
revenue grew by c.3% in the Q1 and c.10% in Q2 on back of strong demand for essential items and higher in-house consumption foods. The net profit margins also expanded by 340bps yoy in the first
quarter owing to better product mix. Overall, for the consumer foods industry, Q1 was a game changing quarter due to reasons such as change in consumer preference towards high quality & reputed
brand products, increased consumption of ready to cook foods such as Maggie, pastas, etc. The H&P industry also shifted their focus towards health & hygiene products such as sanitizers, cleaners,
disinfectants, etc. The H&P companies were able to maintain their revenue to previous year levels with net profit margin expansion by 62 bps yoy. The flattish revenue growth was on account of lower
demand of discretionary sales including personal products and more focus towards essential items. The H&P industry recovered quickly in Q2 with new launches and better demand scenario. Margin
expansion was witnessed in the overall FMCG segment primarily due to benign raw material prices, cost optimization measures, supply chain management and value added product mix.
