Vincent Warnery, Chief Executive Officer of Beiersdorf, said in February 2025 that "2025 is India's year" for the company. During interviews with CNBC-TV18, Warnery stated that India is already one of Beiersdorf’s top 10 markets and that he expects it to become one of the company’s top five markets. He described India as "one of the only countries" where Beiersdorf has a full ecosystem of activities, including an R&D center and a factory, and said the company aims to double its sales in the country and make it a "500 million euro business" in the coming years. Warnery also discussed the company’s product strategy in India. He noted that Beiersdorf is entering the Indian face care market, which he said represents 60% of the total skincare market, with the launch of a new franchise called Luminous. He added that the company is also entering the Indian derma market, becoming what he described as "one of the first Global Brands" to do so. Warnery stated that Beiersdorf spends 3% of its sales on R&D, which he called "best in class," and said the company has refocused its R&D efforts on discovering new ingredients rather than on "marketing innovation."
