4 Sectors To Watch For Future Multibagger Stocks

When it comes to investing in companies for the long-term, the most important aspect one must consider is the future of the company’s product or service.

This means that for at least the next 10-15 years, the products should be in use. The last thing you want is for the product to become obsolete and the company to go out of business.

Furthermore, to generate good long-term returns from stocks, it is important to invest in areas that are developing.

Few sectors in India, such as utility, mining, and others, were good in the past and developing at a decent pace. However, these sectors are hardly in trend these days.

Hence, with changing market dynamics,  one should invest in sectors that have scope for growth.

Here’s a list of 4 sectors that are expected to grow in the next few years.

#1 Chemicals

India is the sixth-largest producer of chemicals in the world.

The chemical sector is immensely diverse, covering over 80,000 commercial goods and can be divided into bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, and fertilizers.

India is a global leader in chemical exports and imports, ranking 14th in exports and 8th in imports.

Domestic demand recovery and strong exports will drive a 50% YoY increase in specialty chemicals manufacturers’ capex in fiscal 22 to USUS$ 815-842 m.

Despite a drop in demand for polymers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, India is likely to witness growth to 32 m tonnes by 2030 in agrochemicals and pesticides.

To stimulate domestic agrochemical manufacturing, the government proposes to implement a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme.

The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals was given US$ 27.43 M in the Union Budget 2022-23.

With all the above mentioned, it seems the chemical sector holds a good future and with growing demand and capex plans, one can expect good returns from this sector.

The multiplex industry was one of the largest casualties of the Covid-19 pandemic. All the restrictions and regulations imposed in the past eighteen months of the pandemic caused major losses to the industry.

However today with the world bidding farewell to the pandemic, the multiplex industry is likely to be one of the multibagger sectors of the future.

Investors took to the news with great euphoria as the merger is expected to increase free cash flow, bargaining power, and cost synergies for the merged business.

Rapid technological advancements, government incentives for solar panels, and the growing competitiveness of solar energy storage batteries have all aided in the deployment of clean energy.

In the last few years many investments and developments have been made in the solar sector.

Even recently, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), which is currently responsible for the development of the whole renewable energy industry, has been allocated Rs 1 bn in the Union Budget 2022-23.

It has already held large-scale central auctions for solar parks, awarding contracts for 47 parks with a total capacity of over 25 GW.

Going forward, solar energy is predicted to provide roughly 280 GW (almost 60%) to the country’s energy mix.

With an anticipated investment of US$ 15 bn this year, India’s renewable energy sector is expected to expand in 2022, as the government concentrates on electric vehicles, green hydrogen, and solar equipment production.
