The shares of TTK Prestige, Stove Kraft, and Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances surged up to 15% intraday, reflecting a significant impact on the market due to increased demand for electric cooking appliances. This surge is largely attributed to growing concerns about potential disruptions in the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), prompting consumers to shift towards electric options.

Beauty Sector Acquisitions

In a notable move within the beauty industry, Estée Lauder is set to acquire Forest Essentials, a prominent Indian prestige Ayurvedic beauty brand. Founded by Mira Kulkarni in 2000, Forest Essentials has established a considerable presence with around 200 stores across India.

Forest Essentials reported a revenue of approximately €54.7 million (INR 585 crore) for the financial year ending March 2025, showcasing an impressive 18% year-on-year growth. This positions the brand among the top two in India’s homegrown prestige beauty market, which currently holds about 10% market share.

Market Forecasts and Growth

Looking ahead, India’s prestige and luxury beauty market is forecasted to reach a value of $4 billion by 2035, indicating a robust growth trajectory. Additionally, Kama Ayurveda has also reported a revenue of INR 141 crore (approximately €13.18 million) for the same financial year, further underscoring the expanding landscape of prestige beauty brands in the country.

The surge in kitchen appliance stocks and the acquisition of prestigious beauty brands highlight a significant shift in consumer preferences and market dynamics. As these sectors evolve, further developments are anticipated, particularly in response to changing consumer needs and market conditions.
