Global Consumer Companies Target India for Growth Amid Western Market SlowdownPreviousNext

Global consumer companies including PepsiCo, Nestlé, Unilever, Pernod Ricard, and Coca-Cola are increasingly focusing on India as a key growth market amid slowing demand in the US and Europe. These firms are capitalizing on rising demand for premium products, expanding distribution, and leveraging fast-growing channels like ecommerce. Despite inflation-related challenges, India’s market shows strong consumer fundamentals and growth potential, contrasting with softer results in developed markets during the July-September quarter.
