- Dabur expects mid- to high-single-digit growth in the second half of the year, backed by low to mid-single-digit volume growth. - A strong winter season, good monsoon, and GST rate reductions are anticipated to support sequential recovery in demand. - Rural growth is robust at around 7%, driven by initiatives like LUP bundles and expansion in rural distribution. - Urban growth is around 3%, with a focus on premiumization targeting Gen Z and premium segments. - Two key growth pivots: premiumization (modernizing brands for urban, Gen Z consumers) and rural volume growth (bottom of pyramid). - Premium products are expected to drive profit growth, while rural volume growth supports overall business expansion. - Product innovations like Chyawanprash gummies and Shilajit resin target new consumer segments. - GST impact caused short-term disruption but is expected to unleash long-term volume growth, especially in categories like oral care, hair oil, and health supplements.
