“The quarter delivered a Decorative and Industrial coatings combined value growth of 6.1% with a strong double-digit Industrial coatings value,” said Amit Syngle, managing director and CEO of Asian Paints Limited.
“The Decorative Business grew well in Luxury and Economy segments to register a robust 12 % volume growth and a value growth of 5.5%,” Syngle added. “Growth was supported by the extended festive season, though we saw some moderation in demand in the latter part of the quarter. Both our Auto OE and General Industrial coating businesses achieved sturdy revenue growths and good profit margins.
Syngle observed that Asian Paints’ international business saw growth in the Middle East and Africa and registered increased profitability overall.
“It, however, continued to remain constrained by macroeconomic headwinds, inflationary pressures in key geographies of South Asia and Egypt,” Syngle reported. “We saw a better quarter in the Home Décor space, with new categories making headway, as we made good progress on integrating our offerings within our Beautiful Homes stores and network.
“Our margins gained significantly from growth in luxury products and softening raw material prices coupled with operational, formulation and sourcing efficiencies in Q3. Moving forward, we will maintain focus on driving strong sales growth and continue to invest in multiple initiatives and solutions for our customers, building on our leadership position.”
