significant boost in the sector in the past few years. With the
relaxations provided by the government and the approval of foreign
investment upto 100% in single brand retail and 51% in multi brand
retail, the industry has seen a boost in the recent years.
The main aim of this research project is to study the market environment
of the FMCG sector at present, and study the annual reports of 5
companies in the sector, viz, Hindustan Unilever, Dabur, Nestle, ITC,
and P&G with the intent of understanding and comparing the companies’
performance to be able to draw an inference of which is the better
performing company to invest in. The project will help investors in

Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector has seen a boosting growth in the past few years. These
changes have been seen due to the liberalization, urbanization and increase in
the disposable incomes and modifications in the lifestyle of the people.
The FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the Indian economy. The
sector includes food & dairy products, packaged food products, household
products, drinks and others. It provides employment to around 3 million
people accounting for approximately 5% of the total factory employment in
India. The sector is characterized by strong presence of leading multinational
companies, competition between organized and unorganized players, well
Household & Personal Care accounts for 50% of the sales for the sector,
with Healthcare taking up 31% of the share, and the remaining 19% being
attributable to the Food &
Beverages sector. The urban segment (accounts for a revenue share of around 55
per cent) is the largest contributor to the overall revenue generated by the FMCG
sector in India.
However, rural development has paved the way for increase in consumer
demand as well, aiding the boom in the FMCG industry.
Online portals are expected to play a key role for companies trying to enter the
hinterlands. Internet has contributed in a big way, facilitating a cheaper and
more convenient mode to increase a company’s reach. It is estimated that 40
per cent of all FMCG consumption in India will be made online by 2020. The
online FMCG market is forecast to reach US$ 45 billion in 2020 from US$ 20
billion in 2017.
The retail market in India was estimated to reach US$ 1.1 trillion by 2020 (before the
COVID 19 pandemic broke out) from US$ 840 billion in 2017, with modern
trade expected to grow at 20-25 per cent per annum, which is likely to boost
revenue of FMCG companies.
Revenue of FMCG sector reached Rs 3.4 lakh crore (US$ 52.75 billion) in FY18 and is
estimated to reach US$ 103.7 billion in 2020. FMCG market is expected to grow
at 9-10 per cent in 2020. After the breakout of the COVID 19 pandemic, Neilsen
estimated a growth of 5.6% while CRISIL estimates that the market will degrow
by 2-3%.
Investments :
The Government has allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in
single-brand retail and 51 per cent in multi-brand retail. This will boost
employment, supply chain and make for high visibility of FMCG brands
across retail markets thereby increasing consumer spending and encouraging
the launch of more new products.
Government Initiatives :
As per reports, major areas of consumption affected by the outbreak are mentioned below :
Daily jobbers moving back home has affected manufacturing as well. With
such unfavourable conditions surrounding any and all businesses, income has
seen a steep decline for many. As a result of this, spending has been
affected as well. It is reasonable to expect that these people will not
be frivolous with their spending in the coming months and only try
to buy the essentials. Consumers who have not been hit by the
pandemic might also cut back on their spending in case they’re out
of job soon as well, and try to save more, thereby reducing
consumption.
The company is a part of the daily lives of millions of people in India. Their
brands are household names, eg, Lux, Lifebuoy, Wheel, Pond’s, Closeup,
Brooke Bond, Bru, Kissan, Lakme etc. They have a portfolio of about 35
brands in around 20 categories.

3. While forecasting the numbers, it was observed that for June
2021, the liabilities were more than assets. Since the company
does not have any long term borrowing, it was assumed that the
difference was settled by payment to creditors. Thereafter, all
changes were made in the trade payables.
4. The assets are projected on the basis of Fixed Asset Turnover
calculated on the basis of the revenue and assets as on 31 June
2019.

Profitability Ratios
(%)
From the above ratios, it is clear that all the companies are relatively
on par with respect to profitability apart from a few deviations here
and there. As a whole, ITC seems to be the best performing company
with higher margins and better return on assets.
From the above, it is clear that ITC & P&G are on the conservative
side of the spectrum, covering their short term liabilities with greater
short term assets.
Chapter 9 : Suggestions
From the above analysis, we can draw the conclusion that all the five
companies studied are performing on par with each other, with very
little difference in their margins. Thus, all the companies are
fundamentally strong. Investing in them will guarantee returns to the
investor.
In that case, Dabur with a market price of around INR 490 and HUL
with a market price of around INR 2200 would be the better choice in
absolute terms. However, according to the calculations, the share is
overvalued.
