West Asia Crisis Hits
News: Rising inflation and supply chain disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict are hitting smaller consumer brands harder, while larger companies gain market share.
Major firms in FMCG, beverages and consumer durables say higher crude prices, packaging costs and shipping disruptions are squeezing smaller players that lack strong sourcing networks and inventory buffers.
Large brands such as Dabur, Marico and Daikin said they can absorb or pass on rising costs more effectively. Smaller brewers and electronics brands are already cutting production or exiting markets due to mounting pressure.
Industry leaders warn the crisis could accelerate consolidation across sectors like televisions, air-conditioners and packaged consumer goods.
