Focussing on the right price-pack architecture, rural expansion
Perfetti Van Melle India, known for brands such as Center fresh, Alpenliebe and Happydent, said that business is now almost back to pre-Covid levels due to higher in-home consumption trends visible even in impulse purchase categories. The confectionery major is strategically focusing on deepening its presence in rural regions and at the same time launching new products with a differentiated proposition to meet the evolving consumer needs.
Rajesh Ramakrishna, Managing Director, Perfetti Van Melle India, said that the impulse purchase categories, such as confectionery, were more adversely impacted than other essential product categories in the initial months of the pandemic as out-of-consumption channels were hit.
