Confectionery

The confectionery business registered strong volume-led double-digit growth, with KitKat continuing to gain market share during the quarter.

The milk products and nutrition business also delivered broad-based growth, driven by higher volumes across key brands and distribution channels.

Rural Markets Continue to Drive Growth

Rural India remained a major growth engine during the quarter.

Nestlé India expanded its rural distribution network by increasing direct retail reach and strengthening distribution touchpoints. The company also accelerated the adoption of its Distributor Management System (DMS) at the sub-distributor level, improving retailer engagement and execution efficiency.

According to the management, general trade continued to register strong double-digit growth across town classes, with rural markets leading overall momentum.

Premiumisation Strategy Gains Momentum

Nestlé India continued to strengthen its premium portfolio during the quarter.

The company expanded the presence of Nespresso across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru through boutiques, pavilions, and pop-up stores, reinforcing its premium coffee strategy.

Premiumisation also continued to support growth in the beverages and confectionery segments.

Pet Food Business Maintains Strong Momentum

The company’s pet food business recorded another quarter of strong double-digit growth.

During the quarter, Nestlé introduced Felix Gravy Lover and Pro Plan Cat, expanding its offerings in the growing cat food segment.

The company highlighted its efforts to build a more resilient dairy value chain while strengthening partnerships, supply chains, and operational capabilities for long-term business growth.

Commodity Outlook

Nestlé India expects commodity markets to remain mixed in the coming quarters.

Key Outlook

• Coffee: Adequate supply expected due to higher production in Brazil and Vietnam, although weather-related volatility may continue.
• Cocoa: Prices remain under pressure due to erratic rainfall in major producing regions.
• Sugar: Prices are expected to stay firm because of lower crop estimates and uneven monsoon conditions linked to El Niño.
• Edible Oils: Stable but at elevated price levels.
• Wheat and Milk: Expected to remain range-bound.
• Protein and Dairy Proteins: Inflationary pressure likely to persist as demand continues to outpace supply.
