Premiumization in India: Unlocking investment opportunities

 

  • Premiumization in India: Unlocking investment opportunities


  • Do you know what is common between India's automotive, FMCG, real estate, electrical goods, travel, and even alcoholic beverage industries? That is of Premiumisation. Post one year of COVID-19, a secular trend of premiumisation has been driving profitability growth across a number of industries. As disposable incomes rise, more Indian families are transitioning into higher income brackets. We also observed secular shifts in attitudes towards saving (decline in Gross Domestic Savings) and a shift in cultural attitude of having more willingness to spend. The traditional, conservating, savings-oriented consumer outlook has given way to consumers seeking better products, services and experiences. This shift is reshaping consumer behaviour, presenting a wealth of opportunities for investors.

  • Investing in Tomorrow: Opportunities for Investors

    For investors, the premiumization trend opens up new avenues. Companies that cater to this growing demand for premium goods and services are poised for substantial growth. Fund managers can enhance their portfolios by focusing on high-quality companies within these burgeoning sectors.

    • Automotive: Investing in companies that manufacture and sell SUVs and premium vehicles can be lucrative as consumer preferences shift towards these high-value products. Brands that innovate in terms of technology, safety, and comfort are likely to see sustained growth.
      • FMCG, Consumer Goods and Healthcare: Companies producing premium household goods and providing high-quality healthcare services are likely to see increased revenues and profitability, making them attractive investment options. The emphasis on quality and innovation in these sectors can lead to strong market positions and customer loyalty.
        • Hospitality and Real Estate: Investing in luxury hotels and premium real estate developers can yield significant returns as these sectors continue to benefit from the cultural shift towards premiumization. Real estate projects in prime locations and hospitality brands that offer unique, high-end experiences stand to gain the most.

  • Embracing the Future: Conclusion

    India's journey towards premiumization is more than just a trend; it's a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour driven by rising incomes and changing cultural attitudes. For investors, this presents an opportunity to tap into high-growth sectors by focusing on companies that are well-positioned to benefit from this transformation.

Looking to park some excess funds for the short term.  LiquidBeES by Nippon - has been the default choice for years. But lately, it’s become muscle memory to run everything past ChatGPT.  Just a quick: “Is there a better option than LiquidBeES?” It turns out, there is.  LIQUIDCASE by Zerodha AMC.  Difference was not subtle and decision was easier : - Expense ratio: Less than half of LiquidBeES - Net returns: ~6.2% vs ~5.7% (1-year annualized) - Same safety, same liquidity - AUM already >1/3rd of LiquidBeES in record time This is how discovery is changing.

And when you get it right, traction follows fast. I won’t be surprised if LIQUIDCASE overtakes LiquidBeES in under 18 months. Thank you for contacting Rounaq!
