Aditya Birla Lifestyle Anticipates Festive Season to Boost Apparel Demand Amid Price Hikes
Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands, owner of Louis Philippe and Van Heusen, is relying on the festive season to boost apparel demand despite flat like-for-like sales growth in September. The company raised prices by about 6% to offset higher costs but has not passed on the full increase. Growth in casual wear and athleisure drove recent sales, while wedding-related purchases remained subdued. The full impact of price hikes is expected in the December quarter, with hopes that ethnic and wedding wear will improve as festivities progress.
