Parle, Britannia Lead Growth as Smaller FMCG Brands Face Expansion Challenges in India
India's FMCG market in 2025 shows growth in consumer choices, rising 5.1% to 129 billion Consumer Reach Points (CRP). Larger and mid-sized brands like Parle, Britannia, and Balaji expanded their consumer reach, while smaller brands faced challenges in scaling. Parle remained the most chosen in-home brand for the 14th year, with Britannia leading out-of-home rankings. Categories such as beverages, home care, and health and beauty grew faster, whereas food and dairy saw slower growth. Some regional and challenger brands made notable gains despite overall market concentration.
