AlMalki Group signs MoU with Brazilian beauty care giant oBoticário

Brazilian fragrance giant oBoticário is set to foray into the Gulf region’s largest beauty market of Saudi Arabia under a new deal with its Dubai-based partner Millennial Capital.

A memorandum of understanding proposes a national development plan for introducing the oBoticário brand in the kingdom which includes a shops roll-out phase to position it among the top beauty brands in the country, a statement said.

The agreement also includes an omnichannel approach including sales in branded outlets in key locations, online sales, and departmental stores.

Saudi Arabia will be oBoticário’s second market in the Gulf region after the UAE where it operates two stores at Dubai Mall and City Centre Mirdif.

oBoticário is the largest fragrance player in Brazil and has more than 4,000 stores across the globe. It is also the largest cosmetic franchise in the world with a 6 percent market share in Latin America and an estimated $4 billion in revenue, according to Euromonitor International.
