\u201cAs we have emphasized in the past, A&P investment will continue to be a key thrust for our growth as we believe that long-term brand building certainly is a much better choice over short-term profitability gains. Further, our focus on cost savings will continue and will be deployed to drive incremental growth. Owing to the above, we expect operating margins to move up by more than 100 bps year-on-year basis in FY24. We believe that we are moving in the right direction along the 4 strategic areas of diversification, distribution, digital and diversity, and we are confident of delivering improvement across all the 3 parameters of volume, revenue and earnings growth in FY24.\u201d<\/em>

Marico\u2019s Domestic & International Brand Acquisitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Marico Limited has made significant strides in the personal care segment through a series of strategic acquisitions. One of Marico Limited’s notable acquisition\u00a0was the Indian hair oil company Nihar Naturals in 2007. Marico gained access to Nihar Naturals’ large consumer base and extensive distribution network through this acquisition. Marico’s existing portfolio was complemented by the brand’s herbal hair oil selections, which enabled the business to meet a wider range of customer preferences. In addition to Nihar Naturals, Marico also acquired Fiancee, a brand focused on the female grooming segment in the same period. By leveraging its marketing and distribution capabilities, Marico aimed to strengthen Fiancee’s position and capture a larger share of the female grooming market.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of Caivil by Marico in 2007\u20132008 increased its presence in the hair care industry. Leading South African brand Caivil provided a selection of hair care items for various hair types and textures. Marico sought to enter the African market with this acquisition and capitalise on Caivil’s strong brand equity to promote regional growth. Another acquisition that strengthened Marico’s position in the African hair care market in 2007\u20132008 was Black Chic. These\u00a0companies catered to customers with particular hair care requirements by specialising in hair relaxers and styling products. Furthermore, Haircode, a well-known hair dye in Bangladesh, was also purchased by Marico during that time.<\/p>\n

Code IO, X-Men, and Set Wet were all acquisitions aimed at the men’s grooming market. The\u00a0company acquired these brands in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. To meet the grooming requirements of the modern man, they collectively offered a wide variety of products, including hair gels, deodorants, and fragrances. Marico’s presence in the hair care industry was further enhanced by the 2012 acquisition of Livon, a well-known hair serum company. A key Indian brand for men’s grooming, Beardo, was another significant acquisition by Marico. To meet the changing needs of men’s grooming, Beardo provided a variety of products, including beard care, hair care, and skincare items. Marico’s 2017 acquisition of Beardo gave the business a solid foundation in India’s expanding men’s grooming market.<\/p>\n

Its position in the African market was bolstered by the acquisition of Isoplus, a leading South African brand in ethnic hair care products. For an undisclosed sum, Marico purchased a majority stake in Apcos Naturals, the company that owns “Just Herbs,” in 2021. In 2022, Marico also purchased a 54% stake in the direct-to-consumer company HW Wellness Solutions Private Limited. The True Elements brand is owned by HW Wellness Solutions. Purit\u00e9 de Pr\u00f4vence and liv, two premium beauty brands, were also acquired by Marico.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
