New-Age FMCG Brands Gain Share in India's Kirana Market, Challenging Legacy Players
New-age consumer brands have increased their share of India's kirana market to nearly 22%, reducing the dominance of established FMCG companies. This shift, driven by changing consumer preferences and expanded online and modern trade access, challenges legacy players to adapt. While newer brands benefit from targeting premium urban consumers and rapid product launches, sustaining extensive physical distribution remains a key challenge. Industry leaders emphasize the need for established companies to understand evolving consumer attitudes both online and offline.
