Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) has indicated an improvement in consumer demand across both urban and rural markets after a period of subdued growth. The company said market conditions are gradually stabilising, supported by easing inflation and improving consumer sentiment.
Management highlighted that lower food inflation and recent tax-related benefits are beginning to reflect in consumption patterns. The company expects demand momentum to strengthen further in the coming quarters and is focusing on driving volume-led growth as pricing pressures ease.
In the December quarter, HUL reported improved volume growth compared to the previous quarter, reflecting gradual recovery in consumption trends. Revenue growth remained steady, while profitability was supported by operational efficiencies and other gains.
Looking ahead, the company plans to prioritise sharper execution, expansion in emerging channels such as quick commerce, and stronger product innovation tailored to Indian consumers as part of its broader growth strategy.
