- January 7, 2026
According to a report from Worldpanel, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry in India is forecast to exhibit continued strength throughout the next several quarters, with a projected 5% volume increase during the first several months. This research indicates that consumer behaviour is consistently improving over previous periods, and there is steady demand present across multiple categories, including personal care, food and beverages, and household products. The report assumes that volume growth will provide a good representation of actual consumption patterns and demonstrate the continuing strength of consumer confidence and willingness to spend, thereby creating positive momentum within the FMCG marketplace, even as companies operate in an environment of changing input costs and face extensive competitive pressures.
According to the information included in the report regarding the trend of increasing similarity between urban and rural consumption indicators, there is an indication that more people across the country are making purchases through organised channels for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Insights from Worldpanel indicate that if disposable income levels and employment conditions remain stable in the coming quarters, this upward trend is likely to continue. The volume and/or value growth of FMCG companies is expected to increase due to shifting patterns of preference among consumers who are being attracted to both quality products and convenience-based purchasing options. A continued expansion of volume in the FMCG sector reflects the ongoing strength of India’s consumption story, which gives industry players a basis for maintaining an optimistic view of their near-term performance.
