FMCG Majors Expand in Men's Grooming

FMCG Majors Expand in Men's Grooming

Big companies that sell everyday products like soaps and shampoos are buying smaller brands that make grooming products for men.

Two recent deals include Honasa Consumer buying Reginald Men for ₹195 crore and Godrej Consumer buying Muuchstac for ₹450 crore.

These smaller brands have done well by focusing on specific products like face wash and sunscreen.

The men's grooming market in India is growing fast, and these big companies want to be part of it.

They see these smaller brands as a good way to reach young men who are willing to pay more for products they trust.

The goal is to combine the strengths of big companies with the digital savvy of smaller brands to win in this growing market.
