Marico Bangladesh Ltd is a leading consumer goods company and a subsidiary of the India-based FMCG giant, Marico Limited. The company is primarily known for its flagship brand, Parachute coconut oil, alongside a wide portfolio of hair care, skin care, and value-added personal care products such as Saffola Active, Livon, and HairCode. According to industry reports, Parachute holds a dominant position with about 80% market share in the country’s branded hair oil market, reflecting strong consumer preference and loyalty.
In the third quarter of the 2025-26 financial year, Marico Bangladesh posted robust year-on-year revenue growth, achieving BDT 5.33 billion, the highest in the company’s history since its trading on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. Compared to the same quarter last year, the revenue saw a rise of 32%, mainly driven by the strong demand for its core personal care products and successful new product launches.
So far in FY2025–26 (Apr–Dec 2025), Marico Bangladesh has shown strong top‑line performance across the first three quarters. In Q1 (Apr–Jun 2025), Marico Bangladesh earned a profit of approximately Tk 194.6 crore, up 13% year-on-year. Q2 (Jul–Sep 2025) profit was around Tk 146.5 crore, a 25% increase from the same quarter in the previous year, while Q3 (Oct–Dec 2025) profit reached about Tk 149.8 crore, up 7% year-on-year.
While revenue surged, Marico Bangladesh’s net profit for Q3 grew marginally, by approximately 7% compared to the previous year. The slower profit growth was mainly due to higher input costs, particularly for imported raw materials, and a significant rise in finance expenses, which increased nearly 75% because of higher lease liabilities. Despite these challenges, the company improved operational efficiency by reducing selling and distribution expenses by 14% compared with the same quarter last year, helping to partially offset cost pressures.

The record date was set for mid-February 2026, allowing eligible shareholders to benefit from the payout.
In addition to its financial growth, Marico continues to expand its manufacturing capacity by investing in its third production plant in Mirsarai and ongoing investments in product innovation and distribution, setting the stage for sustained growth in Bangladesh’s fast-moving consumer goods market.
