Beauty, footwear and innerwear together contributed about 20% of Trent’s revenue in FY26, as per the company’s annual report. Sales from these categories are estimated to have risen to about ₹4,015 crore in FY26 from ₹3,427 crore in FY25, an increase of nearly 17%.

Beauty has emerged as the fastest-growing segment, with volumes surging from 5 million units in FY22 to 86 million units in FY26, translating into a compound annual growth rate of 103%. Innerwear volumes grew from 6 million units to 58 million units over the same period, while footwear volumes increased from 5 million units to 29 million units, underscoring the growing consumer acceptance of Trent’s non-apparel offerings.
