Britannia Industries’ volume-driven approach follow several other large packaged goods makers that are now chasing volume growth after two years of price-led growth. A high inflationary environment had prompted companies to hike prices across the board, resulting in consumers cutting down on purchases of daily goods as well as switching to cheaper competing brands.
