INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) is the 4th largest sector in the Indian economy. There are three main segments in
the sector – Food and Beverages, Healthcare and Household and Personal Care. The FMCG sector has grown from $31.6
billion in 2011 to $49 billion in 2016, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) report on the FMCG industry.
Growing incomes, favourable demographics, easier access and changing lifestyles are the key growth drivers for the
consumer market. The FMCG industry is expected to reap the benefits of the government’s renewed focus on agriculture,
education, healthcare, infrastructure and employment in its Union Budget 2018-19. These initiatives are expected to
increase the disposable income in the hands of the common man, especially in the rural areas, which will be beneficial for
the sector.
The recent years have seen the emergence of a significant trend in the Indian consumer market: growing preference for
herbal and Ayurvedic products. The herbal or natural wave has been gaining traction in India, driven by resurgent pride
among the youth on Indian culture and Indian products. They have been showing greater willingness to embrace products
Document code: FOTL_020220193_3 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved
that offer the tried-and-tested benefits of traditional Ayurveda, but presented in modern day and contemporary formats.
This trend has been gaining traction across the categories with leading MNCs also joining the bandwagon.
Companies with traditional herbal positioning and strong R&D are more likely to benefit disproportionately from this
trend. As the leading player in the Ayurveda and natural health and personal care market, Dabur has been working
towards making traditional Indian knowledge available in a form that appeals to the modern consumer.
India FMCG Business:
The India FMCG business includes the Consumer Care Business comprising key categories like Health Care
(encompassing Health Supplements, Digestives, OTC and Ethicals), Home & Personal Care (comprising Hair Care, Oral
Care, Skin Care and Home Care) and Foods. The company has a wide distribution network, covering over 6.3 million
retail outlets with a high penetration in both urban and rural markets. The India FMCG business, despite the strong
headwinds in the form of pre-GST jitters reported 8.1% growth during fiscal 2017-18.
Health Care:
Ayurveda-based products have been gaining traction in India over the past few years on account of rising awareness about
harmful effects of chemicals and allopathic medicines, coupled with increasing number of product innovations by
companies. The pace of growth is expected to continue in years to come with a growing number of young people
beginning to embrace this traditional medicine.
According to a TechSci Research report, “India Ayurvedic Products Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2011-2021”, the
Ayurvedic products market in India is projected to register a CAGR of 16% between 2016 and 2021. It says that the rising
health concerns and awareness of side-effects of allopathy are some of the major factors driving consumer preference for
Ayurvedic products in the country.
The Government has also been making concerted efforts towards encouraging and promoting usage of Ayurvedic
products through education and national awareness programmes. Various initiatives like celebration of the National
Ayurveda Day, seminars, conclaves and programmes for prevention and control of Diabetes and Non-Communicable
Diseases has increased awareness about this system of medicine among people.
As the country’s leading Science-based Ayurveda expert, Dabur has been at the forefront on carrying out collaborative
research and modern technology to further establish the benefits of various traditional Ayurvedic formulations, products
and ingredients. The Company constantly investing in not just updating and upgrading its Health Care portfolio, but also
towards making it more contemporary and in sync with the ever-changing needs and aspirations of the modernday
consumer. All this is being done while keeping the core of Ayurveda intact. The Dabur Research & Development Centre
(DRDC) has been undertaking, coordinating and promoting research on scientific lines in Ayurvedic Sciences. This
research work is executed by an able team of over 100 scientists and also through collaborative studies with various
universities, hospitals, research institutes and government bodies.
Dabur’s Health Care vertical today comprises Health Supplements, Digestives, Over-The-Counter (OTC) and Ayurvedic
Ethical products. This vertical contributed 31.7% to the India FMCG sales in 2017-18.

Home & Personal Care:
Led by a widespread lifestyle shift, triggered mainly by environmental awareness, millennial trends and growing
awareness about health and wellness, many of today’s consumers are demanding natural or nature-based products in
categories such as personal care, household care and cosmetics. A survey carried out by Euro monitor International
reveals that over half of Indian consumers reported that ‘natural or organic’ features are known to influence their hair and
skin care purchase decisions. About 71% of consumers surveyed said that they would pick up a face cream or lotion
provided it claimed to be ‘natural’, while 38% said they would buy a shampoo or hair oil, if it was made with ‘botanical’
ingredients.
These points towards a growing across-the-board trend among Indian consumers for natural ingredients in personal care
products and an affinity and innate belief in the goodness of ancient Indian wisdom. For over a century, Dabur has been
offering consumers natural and Ayurveda-based personal care solutions. Dabur offers a range of product covering Hair
Care, Oral Care, Skin Care & Salon and Home Care. This vertical contributed 50.4% to the India FMCG sales.
Foods:
Dabur’s Foods business largely comprises packaged fruit juices & beverages with culinary pastes forming a small part of
the business. This business contributed 18.0% to the India FMCG Business. This business reported moderate growth
during 2017-18 as the category witnessed increased competitive intensity and increase in number of players at the
economy end of the market. Dabur is the pioneer in packaged fruit juice market in India and enjoys nearly 55% share of
the category with a range of products under the brands Real and Real Activ. With the widest and healthiest product range
in the industry, constant innovation and unwavering focus on quality, Dabur has maintained its lead despite the entry of
new players offering lower priced and discounted products.
The company increased its media spends and focused on enhancing its distribution footprint and penetration. During the
festive season, Real introduced an exclusive range of 13 specially crafted gift packs of Real fruit beverages, offering
consumers the option of gifting real health to their near and dear ones. The range has been eloquently designed to
communicate the goodness of fruits and the concept of ‘Festive Wishes of Good Health’.
Special utility pack options were also part of the offering, keeping up with the theme of offering consumers new, healthy
gifting options. These packs were well received by consumers. Gift packs of Real fruit juices are also available during
other festive seasons such as Rakhi, Eid and Christmas.
As part of its theme of offering ‘Health and Wellness’ the division had launched Active Coconut Water couple of years
ago. The brand saw strong growth this year supported by preference for natural beverages which offer nutrition in addition
to quenching thirst. The Mausambi juice variant which was launched last year received a good response and gained

Outlook:
The FMCG industry in India faced stress at the beginning of the fiscal year due to the implementation of GST but
recovered considerably in the later part of the year. That said, implementation of GST in India is a big positive for the
FMCG sector as it has enabled a unified tax structure, easier movement of goods across the country, conversion from
unorganized to organized sector and streamlining of tax structure across categories. While there are some near-term
inflationary pressures and challenges due to the increase in prices of crude oil and other raw materials, overall consumer
demand is resilient and the consumer industry is expected to grow at a good pace in the medium to long term.
Increasing preference for natural products, rising incomes and aspirations, low penetration of most of the categories and
changing lifestyle will be the drivers for the FMCG sector. Company, with its brands, infrastructure, capabilities and
management depth is well placed to leverage this opportunity. The Company has a strong product pipeline and has also
been aggressively investing in various communication and distribution initiatives to create and efficiently service demand
for its products.
International markets witnessed recovery after the slowdown on the back of low crude prices in the past few years.
Adverse currency movements in some markets like Egypt, Nigeria and Turkey impacted the company’s consolidated sales
growth although these markets have grown well in local currency terms. The translation impact is likely to reduce in fiscal
2018-19 as the currency depreciation has come into the base. Outlook for African markets remains positive. SAARC
region has been stable and performed well. The outlook for this region remains positive for the next fiscal.
