Global FMCG Giants Flock to India Amid Strong Demand
Global consumer goods giants such as Mondelez International, L'Oreal, Reckitt, Unilever, Nestle, and The Coca-Cola Company are expanding their presence in India's fast-growing market.
The companies have reported strong demand and market share gains in the June quarter, with many attributing their success to resilient consumer confidence, accelerating premiumization, and growing e-commerce channels.
Mondelez International, which owns brands such as Oreo, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and Toblerone, expanded its retail reach by adding another 1,00,000 stores in India during the second quarter of 2026. L'Oreal's Indian business accelerated at over 70% in the June quarter, while Reckitt reported high single-digit growth.
Unilever CEO Fernando Fernandez described India as a key driver of future growth and said the company would continue investing to strengthen its leadership position. Nestle SA also sees India as a strong growth driver, with momentum expected to remain strong despite changes in sales tax.
