ICICI Securities Report

We believe a good NPD strategy is an under-appreciated growth driver (in the long-term) for consumer staples – the benefit is far more than just a few points of extra growth (for a year).

A good NPD process, driven by top management, ensures (1) longevity – companies have to innovate to stay relevant in the long term, (2) expansion into adjacencies – highly DCF accretive, in our opinion.

While there are near-term risks of NPD failure (1) stock returns costs (can be minimised, though), and (2) (potential) conflict with trade channel, we believe the potential benefits far outweigh the costs.
