“Our performance in a tough inflationary environment aptly demonstrates the power and consistency of Dabur's strategic playbook, which helped us capitalise on our brand strength while continuing to innovate and deepen our engagement with our consumers. In an environment where high Inflation continued to impact consumption, we are happy to have progressed well with broad-based growth in our key categories and report market share gains across our product portfolio,” Mohit Malhotra, chief executive officer, Dabur India, said.

Dabur ended the quarter with a volume case growth of 11% and the year with 14%. “During the year, we faced high inflation, which was partly mitigated by price increases to the tune of 6%. Consumer promotions were offered to soften the impact of price hikes on consumption, which resulted in flattish Value-weighted Volumes for both the fourth quarter and the year. This 11% case growth has helped increase the penetration and market share of our brands across categories in line with our ghar ghar Dabur strategy,” Malhotra said.

He added, “Despite the near-term concerns around inflationary pressures, we plan to accelerate the growth momentum by continuing to invest in brand building, innovation, and capabilities that will drive future growth. Our journey to sustainable growth is well on track as we focus on building a stronger, more dynamic business, with a renewed sense of purpose.”
