Sharekhan’s research report on Godrej Consumer Products
The company is focusing on growth levers such as 1) improving penetration of aerosols/liquid vapourisers in household insecticide (HI); 2) regaining lost market share in wet-wipes through competitive pricing; and 3) gaining scale in hygiene to drive double-digit revenue growth in Indonesia. India business is expected to grow in double digits with all key categories (including soaps and HI) expected to report double-digit revenue growth in FY2022. Raw-material inflation will continue to put pressure on margins in the near term. Calibrated price hikes and operating efficiencies would help in mitigating cost pressures.
