Orient Beverages Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

a. Industry structure and developments:

In 2024, the global economy experienced moderate growth of 3.3% (IMF World Economic Outlook, April 2025) amid a challenging macroeconomic environment. Persistent geopolitical tensions, disruptions in trade routes, and high interest rates in major economies created headwinds for global trade and consumption. However, resilient labour markets, easing inflationary pressures, and stable private consumption helped sustain economic activity, particularly in emerging markets. In the FMCG sector, demand remained steady, driven by essential consumer goods, and a growing preference for health and sustainability focused products. Looking ahead to 2025, the IMF has cut its forecast for the global economic growth to 2.8% following tariff measures being announced by the United States and countermeasures taken by its trading partners. Global growth is expected to recover to 3% in 2026. The United States and the Euro Area are expected to grow at 1.8% and 0.8% respectively. The emerging markets while impacted by the tariff shocks continue to be the growth drivers and are expected to grow by 3.7% in 2025 and 3.9% in 2026.

India remains a bright spot in the global economy, with GDP growth estimated at 6.5% in FY25 (Economic Survey), driven by strong domestic consumption, infrastructure investments, and policy reforms. The Country continues to benefit from a growing middle class, rising disposable incomes, and increasing digital penetration, all of which are fuelling demand for FMCG products. Despite global uncertainties, Indias inflation has moderated and improving rural and urban consumption trends have kept the economy on a stable growth trajectory. For the FMCG sector, 2025 presents significant growth opportunities, particularly in rural markets, where improving agricultural output, government welfare schemes, and better connectivity are expected to drive demand. Health and wellness focused products, and sustainability-driven innovations continue to shape consumer preferences. The rapid adoption of e-commerce including Quick commerce is also reshaping the sector, offering brands new ways to engage with consumers. While input cost volatility and regulatory changes remain key challenges, the industry is expected to benefit from stable demand, supply chain advancements, and innovation-driven growth.
