India's rural fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 14.6% and reach $220 billion by 2025, a joint study said here on Wednesday. This is because of rural population using e-commerce and digital connectivity services due to high penetration of smartphones, credit and debit cards, and online banking. In the light of this, making their products available to customers sitting in far and wide corners of the country waiting to be serviced was the next big challenge before large FMCG companies, the study said. According to the study, jointly published by MRRSIndia.com and Assocham, India's FMCG market is expected to reach $103.7 billion by 2020 from the current level of $49 billion, while the retail market is likely to reach $1.1 trillion from the current $680 billion. "Retail and FMCG markets in India are exponentially growing and are expected to grow at 20% and 21% respectively per annum." Hindustan Unilever shares closed at Rs1,277.00, up 0.96% on the BSE.
