Procter and Gamble Net Worth 2021: Financial Snapshot and Indian Market Insights
1. P&G’s 2021 Financial Highlights
Procter & Gamble (P&G), a Fortune 500 multinational, reported its 2021 fiscal year (ending June 30, 2021) financial results. Key metrics include:
Total Assets: 362.5 billion (up from 331.2 billion in 2020).
Total Liabilities: 271.8 billion (up from 248.7 billion in 2020).
Shareholders’ Equity: 90.7 billion (up from 82.5 billion in 2020).
Net Worth Calculation: Total Assets – Total Liabilities = $90.7 billion (equivalent to shareholders’ equity).
P&G’s strong performance was driven by resilient demand for consumer goods (e.g., laundry detergents, personal care) amid COVID-19 disruptions.
2. P&G in India: Market Dominance and Innovations
P&G entered India in 1989 and now leads in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG):
Key Brands: Pampers, Tide, OMO, and Whisper dominate baby care, detergents, and卫生用品.
Market Share: P&G holds ~40% of India’s FMCG market, trailing only Unilever.
Local Adaptation: Launched affordable variants (e.g., Parachute coconut oil for rural markets) and digital campaigns (e.g., “P&G MyHome” via WhatsApp).
Challenges: Rising competition from local brands (e.g., HUL’s Fair & Lovely) and price sensitivity in tier-2 cities.
3. “Indian Game” Answer: P&G’s Market Growth Puzzle
Problem:
“P&G’s revenue in India grew by 18% YoY in 2021. If its Indian market revenue was 2.1 billion in 2020, what was it in 2021? Also, calculate its net worth contribution from India as a percentage of its global equity (90.7B).”
Solution:

2021 Revenue: 2.1B × 1.18 = 2.478B.
Net Worth Contribution: (2.478B / 90.7B) × 100 ≈ 2.73%.
Insight: While India’s contribution is small globally, its growth underscores P&G’s strategic focus on emerging markets.
Conclusion
P&G’s 2021 net worth of $90.7 billion reflects its global dominance and adaptability. In India, its market growth exemplifies strategic localization. The “game” highlights how regional performance impacts overall equity, even in smaller markets.
