Subdued Demand and Margin Pressure in Q2FY25 

Asian Paints highlighted that the paint industry experienced a weak demand environment during the September quarter of fiscal 2025.

Volumes in the Domestic Decorative coatings segment saw a slight decline, and overall domestic coatings revenue dropped by 5.5%.

This was mainly due to subdued consumer sentiment and prolonged rains and floods in some regions.

Asian Paints also highlighted that operating margins were impacted by last year’s price reductions, rising material costs, and higher sales expenses in its Q2FY25 results.

Asian Paints noted that soft demand, product mix shifts, and material price inflation had a negative effect.
