3.2 HISTORICAL GROWTH OF THE FMCG INDUSTRY

The consumer markets in India are constantly evolving. The first phase of
consumer market evolution in the 1980s and the 1990s was characterized by some
major structural changes such as changes in income distribution, increased product
availability (in terms of both quality and quantity), increased competition,
increased media penetration and improved advertising (impacting lifestyle). This
raised the levels of consumer awareness and preference to consume the various
products. The late 1990s witnessed a rush forward in consumer finance products
owing to steady financial sector reforms in the economy and innovative marketing.
The consumer markets in India have entered the second phase of evolution with
the turn of the century.

52
Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL) was probably the only MNC Company that had
its manufacturing base in India. At that time, the focus of the organized players like
HLL was largely cultured. There too, the consumers had limited choice. But,
Nirma’s entry changed the whole Indian FMCG scene. The company focused on
the ‘value for money’ that made FMCG products like detergents very affordable
even to the lower strata of the society. Nirma became a great success story and laid
the roadmap for others to follow. Further, the government’s relaxation of norms
encouraged MNC’s to go for scale of economy to make FMCG products more
affordable. Consequently, today soaps and detergents have almost 90% penetration
in India. Post liberalization saw not only increased domestic choices, but also of
imported products. The lowering of the trade barriers encouraged MNC’s to invest
in India to cater to Indian consumers’ needs. Further, the FMCG companies such
as HLL, Godrej Consumer, Marico, Henkel, Reckitt Benckiser and Colgate vie
with one another to attract and sustain the rural consumer first. Each of them has
seen a significant expansion in the retail reach in mid-sized towns and villages.
Currently 50% of all HLL sales come from rural India. One of the biggest changes
to boost the FMCG industry was the introduction of ‘sachet’. In the last 3 years,
almost all EMCG’s are marketed through, smaller package sizes at lower price
points. This is the biggest innovative leap which increased number of users and
expand market share for value added products in urban India and for general FMCG
products like detergents, soaps and oral care in rural India.
The FMCG industry has tripled its size over the past 10 years chiefly because of
many changes in the Indian economic and industrial landscape, such as reduced
levels of taxation, easier import of materials and technology, reduced barriers to
entry of foreign players, growing organisational maturity of Indian players, growth
of media, and, of course, the growing affluence and appetite for consumption of
the Indian consumer.
The industry’s potential to grow further and faster is awesome, given the low
penetration of most categories and rising consumer incomes. There is a huge
growth potential for all the FMCG companies as the per capita consumption of
almost all products in the country is amongst the lowest in the world. Again the
demand or prospect could be increased further if these companies can change the
consumer's mindset and offer new generation products. Earlier, Indian consumers
were using non-branded apparel, but today, clothes of different brands are available
53
and the same consumers are willing to pay more for branded quality clothes. It's
the quality, promotion and innovation of products, which can drive many sectors.
The growth of GDP has accelerated the growth of FMCG industry in India over the
years. The historical growth of the FMCG industry in tune with GDP growth in
India is clearly expressed in the Figure 3.1.
