According to reports, two significant demergers are expected to take place in 2025. ITC, an Indian conglomerate, is set to demerge its FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) business into a separate company. This move aims to create a more focused and efficient business structure, allowing ITC to better compete in the competitive FMCG market. The demerged company is expected to be listed separately on the stock exchanges.
Another notable demerger expected in 2025 is the separation of Siemens’ healthcare business from the company’s main operations. Siemens Healthineers, the healthcare division, will become an independent company, listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. This move is part of Siemens’ strategy to divest non-core businesses and focus on its core industrial and digital businesses.
Meanwhile, Upstox, an Indian fintech company, is also planning a demerger. The company is expected to split its businesses into separate entities, including its stock trading and lending platforms. This move aims to create more focused businesses, allowing Upstox to expand its offerings and better serve its customers.
These demergers are expected to have significant implications for the companies involved, as well as the broader financial and industrial sectors.
