Reckitt, the British fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company, reported double-digit growth in its Indian business for the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by strong performances from its brands Dettol and Durex. The company's overall net revenue reached £3.24 billion, reflecting a 0.6% like-for-like (LFL) growth. In India, Reckitt's Germ Protection and Intimate Wellness segments reported significant growth, supported by an expanded coverage area and effective sales transformation strategies. The company noted that emerging markets, including India and China, contributed 42% of Core Reckitt's Q1 net revenues, which saw a 1.3% growth. Despite facing challenges such as low seasonal incidence and geopolitical disruptions, Reckitt's Chief Executive Officer Kris Licht expressed optimism about continued growth in key markets, forecasting strong performance driven by its market-leading Powerbrands and new product innovations. Looking ahead, Reckitt aims to sustain its growth trajectory across India and China.
