medium
Market share loss to new entrant
Management acknowledged a marginal market share decline (from ~19.6% to ~19.4%), with gains going to the new challenger, especially in certain regions.
Value-volume gap persists due to mix shift
The structural shift toward lower-ASP products (economy emulsions, textures, tile adhesives) is expected to keep value growth 4-5% below volume growth for the next 1-2 years.
Competitive intensity from other players
While the main challenger has stabilized, other players (e.g., JSW, Astral) and regional entrants could incrementally impact growth by 1-1.5%.
