Popees Baby Care, one of India’s fastest-growing baby clothing and accessories brands, has officially reached a remarkable milestone by opening its 95th store. The company, well-known for its commitment to comfort, quality, and affordability, has also announced its ambitious expansion plans into the Gulf region.
This new milestone is not only a sign of strong domestic growth but also a launchpad for its next chapter—an aggressive international expansion strategy aimed at capturing key markets in the Middle East.
From Humble Beginnings to Nationwide Presence
Popees Baby Care began its journey in 2004, with a simple yet powerful vision—to make quality baby products accessible to every family. From a small manufacturing setup in Kerala, the brand has now evolved into a household name across India. Its stores are present in major cities and towns, offering a wide range of baby products including clothing, bedding, and essential accessories.
The company has always focused on blending safety with style. All Popees products are manufactured using baby-safe materials, free from harsh chemicals and designed for sensitive skin.
With 95 stores now operational, Popees Baby Care has emerged as a trusted brand for millions of parents, not just in urban markets but also in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Vision 2025: Entering the Gulf Market
Following its domestic success, Popees Baby Care is now setting its sights on the international market. The company announced that it will soon be launching its first set of outlets in key Gulf countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
This strategic move is part of Popees’ broader “Vision 2025” roadmap, which aims to expand its footprint across Asia and the Middle East. The brand’s leadership believes that the Gulf market holds significant potential due to its rising population, increasing disposable income, and growing demand for premium baby care products.
According to Mr. Muhammed Nishad, Founder and Managing Director of Popees Baby Care, “Our goal is to make Popees an international brand. The Gulf countries are just the beginning. We aim to be in every home that cares deeply about baby comfort and safety.”
Why the Gulf? A Strategic Market Move
There are several compelling reasons behind Popees Baby Care’s decision to expand into the Gulf region:
- Growing Expat Population: With a large and growing South Asian expatriate population in countries like the UAE, Popees already has brand recognition among potential consumers.
- Strong Retail Infrastructure: Gulf countries offer modern retail infrastructure and a high level of consumer spending in the baby care sector.
- Untapped Opportunity: Despite the presence of international brands, there is still a market gap for high-quality, affordable baby products made with a deep understanding of parental needs.
This expansion will also provide Popees Baby Care with the opportunity to explore franchising partnerships and e-commerce models in global territories.
Omnichannel Growth Strategy
To support its Gulf expansion and meet the needs of modern parents, Popees Baby Care is also enhancing its omnichannel strategy. The brand’s online presence has grown significantly over the past year, with robust traffic to its e-commerce platform and successful partnerships with major online retailers like Amazon and Flipkart.
As part of its future vision, the brand plans to launch exclusive online collections, subscription-based delivery models, and personalized baby care solutions that can be accessed both online and in stores.
This integration of digital and physical retail channels will allow Popees to offer a seamless shopping experience to both Indian and international customers.
Innovation and Sustainability at the Core
Another key pillar of Popees Baby Care’s success is its focus on innovation and sustainability. The company is committed to using eco-friendly fabrics and minimizing its carbon footprint through sustainable packaging and responsible manufacturing practices.
In recent months, Popees introduced a new line of organic cotton baby wear, which has been well-received in both urban and rural markets. These products are produced without harmful pesticides and offer enhanced comfort for delicate baby skin.
The company also has a zero-waste policy at its main manufacturing unit and continues to invest in green technologies to reduce water and energy consumption.
Franchise Model and Future Roadmap
With 95 stores already functioning, Popees Baby Care plans to expand to 150 stores globally by the end of 2026. A significant portion of this growth will come through franchising, especially in international markets. The brand has already received interest from retail partners in the UAE, Oman, and Bahrain.
The company’s franchise model is designed to support local entrepreneurs while ensuring a consistent brand experience. Franchise partners benefit from Popees’ robust supply chain, marketing support, and training modules, which ensure that customers receive the same level of quality and service in every location.
Conclusion: A Trusted Brand Ready to Go Global
Popees Baby Care’s journey from a regional player to a national leader has been marked by resilience, innovation, and an unwavering focus on quality. The achievement of opening its 95th store is a testament to the trust it has built with millions of parents across India.
With a bold and clear roadmap to enter the Gulf region, Popees Baby Care is now ready to take its brand global. As it prepares to open its first international stores, the company is setting a new benchmark in the Indian baby care industry—proving that local brands with strong values and high-quality products can compete on a global stage.
As the Gulf expansion begins, parents across the Middle East can soon look forward to a trusted brand that understands the value of safety, comfort, and love for every baby.
