The FMCG sector is projected to approach 5% volume growth in 2026, contingent on stable energy prices and favorable monsoon conditions, according to Worldpanel by Numerator. Current value growth is robust at 13.1%, with volume growth at 5.4%. However, if energy prices remain high, volume growth may be limited to 4-4.5%. The personal care segment is expected to grow 3-5%, while household care may see 4-5% growth. Overall, 2026 is anticipated to be a year of disciplined growth rather than exuberant expansion.
