Staples demand and sentiments remained under pressure amid sustained inflationary pressure and slower than expected rural recovery, however urban markets remained resilient.
Winter products saw lower consumption due to soft onset of winter season. We expect staples to post low to midsingle digit volume growth in Q3 FY24.
Demand across discretionary categories like QSR, footwear and retail remained under pressure amid moderate festive season. QSR had volatile quarter with strong demand on specific occasions and tepid normally.
Paints gained from robust festive and wedding season which leading to strong volume growth while organised Jewellery players gained share and grew despite sluggish industry demand due to higher gold prices.
