Colgate-Palmolive India managing director Prabha Narasimhan said people are delaying purchases or extending consumption of daily household and personal products and with a large number of people making these small changes, it has led to a slowdown in the overall market. «Consumers tend to titrate or delay their usage of things, just quite intuitively when they feel the pressure. We have so much headroom to go in terms of moving per capita consumption, our focus really needs to be on that instead of worrying about the big macro indicators and what's happening outside our control,» Narasimhan told ET. «We are certainly seeing a little bit of headwind as far as urban growth is concerned and I do expect it to be temporary.» A report by NielsenIQ said urban demand increased 2.8% year-on-year in the July-September period, while rural demand grew more than twice as fast at 6%. Overall, the FMCG sector grew 5.7% by value and 4.1% by volume during the quarter. The company behind the eponymous toothpaste brand controls half the oral care segment in country and outpaced the market with 10% growth during quarter ended September.

FMCG companies are shifting focus toward “designing for India,” investing in products that cater to varied local tastes and preferences. This has spurred Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and its counterparts to fine-tune both product development and production processes to meet regional demands. An example is in HUL’s tea offerings. «In the South, the Red Label tea we sell is a finer blend. In the North, it’s more grainy. The way we process the tea is also quite different,» Vibhav Sanzgiri, HUL’s Executive Director for R&D, told TOI's Asmita Dey. HUL's strategy underscores the complexity of catering to India’s different regional tastes, climates, and lifestyles. Sanzgiri, who leads a team of over 800 scientists across HUL’s three R&D centers, noted that consumer expectations now extend beyond taste to include health benefits, wellness, fragrance, and even packaging. Beyond HUL, Colgate-Palmolive is also responding to India's unique consumer profile. To cater to consumers’ fondness for snacking, the company introduced arginine-based toothpaste to address oral health concerns. “When designing for Indian consumers, we need to incorporate local taste nuances and focus on the target demographic,” explained Swati Agarwal, Executive Vice-President at Colgate-Palmolive India. The brand has also incorporated localized scents into its shower gel products, recognizing that consumer preference varies across regions.
