Sudhir Sitapati, MD and CEO, GCPL, said that the company had delivered a steady performance, given the headwinds of oil costs and a tough domestic consumer demand scenario.

The home care segment grew by 12% overall, the company said. Household insecticide volume growth was in the mid-single digits. Goodknight liquid vaporiser’s full distribution is expected in one to two quarters. While Goodknight Agarbatti is performing well and increasing market share against illegal incense sticks, the firm said.

The personal care segment, meanwhile, grew by 3% overall. The personal wash volume, led by soaps, remains flattish and hair colour volume grew in double digits, GCPL said.

“The category (soaps) faces higher-than-anticipated inflation in palm oil, leading to margin erosion which is expected to continue for the remainder of the year. Historical trends indicate that prices may normalize in a few quarters,” the firm said.
