ABSTRACT
The Boroplus brand is being expanded by Emami with new skincare products aimed at the mass market that is quickly modernizing. Might it expand its market share?

Emami's Himani Boroplus antiseptic cream, with annual sales of Rs 200 crore, is the second largest in the Rs 4,600 crore skincare industry. It is the only brand after Hindustan Unilever's Fair & Lovely fairness cream that was founded in 1984.

Eam in magnitude (it generates sales well over Rs 1,000 crore). It has continued to concentrate on the mass market segment, which is a good strategy for an emerging market.

There are now an overwhelming number of creams, lotions, butters, serums, scrubs, and face washes that promise a variety of advantages, including instant fairness, improved moisture, UV protection, and anti-aging. Also, as incomes have increased, consumers have started to upgrade.

Until recently, Boroplus continued to be sold as an ayurvedic antibacterial cream in a tube. The brand will now have to work harder under the direction of its parent, the Rs 1,000 crore Emami. A number of launches are planned to capture a larger portion of the skincare market after certain varieties were planted in the market last year.

Hence, Boroplus will confront large enterprises head-on. This matters a lot. Homegrown enterprises that produce fast-moving consumer items have traditionally concentrated on markets that are of little interest to international corporations.
