Mohan Goenka, Director, Emami Limited said,“The year FY 17-18 has ended with a reasonably good Q4 registering a double digit growth of 12% on a Y-o-Y basis. Most of our brands have registered a good growth in this quarter. The consumption environment for the industry has overall been positive with rural business chartering the growth path. We have increased our direct reach to 8.5 lakh outlets, which will help us in reducing our dependency on wholesale channel. International business has also done well in this quarter by achieving a growth of 37%”
Harsha V Agarwal, Director, Emami Limited informed,“While Q4 witnessed a good growth led by Navratna, Pain Management and new launches, we expect the momentum to continue in FY19. With GST stabilisation, normal monsoon expectation coupled with higher government spending, FMCG is poised for a good growth. Some of our new launches like Emami Diamond Shine Crème Hair Colour and Fair and Handsome Laser 12 etc. have been received quite well in the market. Strategic investment in upcoming growth segments through start-ups will help the company to grow further in years to come.”
