THE WHAT? Grupo Boticário is prioritising operational efficiency to sustain growth amid a slowdown in Brazil’s beauty market.

THE DETAILS The company reported a 6.7% increase in sales volume in 2025, reaching R$38.1 billion, despite weaker household consumption. It expanded its market share to 15.5%, narrowing the gap with rival Natura. Growth was supported by a customer base of 26 million and continued product innovation, which accounted for 27% of revenue. The group also expanded its distribution footprint to 200,000 non-owned points of sale and increased its presence in salons and retail channels. However, it deliberately slowed parts of its B2B operations to restructure for future growth. Efficiency initiatives include reducing its tech workforce, integrating brand ecosystems and using data-driven tools to optimise store expansion. The company also continues to invest in long-term capacity, including a new R$2 billion manufacturing facility.

THE WHY? The strategy aims to maintain competitiveness and profitability in a softer consumer environment, ensuring the business is better positioned for future growth as market conditions stabilise.
