FAST-MOVING CONSUMER goods (FMCG) companies may report low-single-digit revenue growth in the December quarter of FY25 owing to sluggish urban demand and persistently high input costs, analysts as well as companies said.
"We expect volume growth deceleration across the board, given the slowing urban demand and a gradual rural recovery," analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities wrote. "Volume growth is likely to be in low-to-mid single digit for most companies," analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities said.
