LATEST TRENDS

Rural Markets Leading Growth to Propel Market Growth

For the fifth straight quarter, growth in FMCG has come mostly from rural India rather than from cities. In March 2025, rural areas saw a 8.4% growth in volume, whereas growth in urban areas was at only 2.6%. More use of these products is mainly driven by better weather during the monsoons. Urban areas, however, experience higher inflation which is reducing interest in extras such as ice creams and soft drinks.
