Growth Drivers

Inter Parfums expects growth in 2023 to be driven by its solid brand portfolio and global distribution network. The company stated that it would ship Donna Karan and DKNY products for the full year compared to only five months in 2022. Further, sales growth is likely to be backed by product launches, especially brand extensions and flankers for IPAR’s largest and mid-sized brands.

Additionally, management expects to gain from sustained travel retail business growth, a more streamlined supply-chain structure and modest pricing actions (which are likely to be undertaken in 2023 beginning). Management remains encouraged about its 2023 performance due to its robust plans despite the obstacles.
