New Delhi: Homegrown FMCG major Marico Ltd on Friday said it expects a gradual uptick in the growth of its core categories through ongoing initiatives to enhance the profitability of general trade channel partners and investments towards expansion in footprint across urban and rural outlets over the next couple of years.

In its quarterly update on the BSE, Marico said in the fourth quarter of FY24 FMCG demand sentiment stayed consistent vis-a-vis the preceding quarters with trends in urban and rural consumption largely converging. In the fourth quarter consolidated revenue grew in low single digits, moving back into positive territory after three quarters, the company said, adding that it expects a "low double-digit operating profit growth on the back of a healthy expansion in the operating margin". "In Q4, the domestic business posted a slight uptick in volume growth on a sequential basis owing to steadying trends in the majority of the portfolios," the company said.
