paint companies increase hiring to combat market challenges and competition
Indian paint companies are increasing their sales team hires to capture market share amid weak growth and fierce competition. Firms like Asian Paints and Berger Paints are investing 5-15% more in staffing to target smaller retail markets, responding to a slowdown that began in Q4FY24, exacerbated by rising crude prices and declining demand in the decorative segment, particularly in rural areas. Despite these efforts, companies continue to face challenges with moderate revenue and profit growth due to rising input costs and sluggish volumes.
