“Dabur is set to embark on the journey of urban recovery riding premium urban-focused launches. The company is in a sweet spot with volume growth ahead of most peers due to its huge innovation funnel, higher ad spends and aggressive distribution drive”, says analyst at Edelweiss Securities.

According to a Morningstar India’s Equity Analyst Report dated 30 Jul 2014, despite the increasingly competitive consumer product landscape in India, Dabur should be able to maintain relatively stable operating margins, given its unique positioning as "the" herbal brand.
