Unilever positioned to gain market share as Indian competition weakens. The consumer goods giant's CEO Fernando Fernández highlighted how supply chain disruptions and rising packaging costs are constraining local competitors in India and Southeast Asia, creating growth opportunities for Unilever. The company achieved record market share in laundry powders during Q1 2026 and is expanding aggressively in liquid detergents. With inflationary pressures benefiting home care categories, Unilever's diverse portfolio allows it to balance pricing power with volume growth where competitors struggle with supply constraints and cash limitations. The Indian market outlook remains strong for continued expansion.
