O Boticário (Retail / Beauty, headquartered in Brazil) operates 3,898 units with +4.1% year-over-year unit growth, and scores 59/100 on the FranchisePulse AI Adoption Score for Q3 2026 — ranking #38 of 61 tracked franchise systems.
Grupo Boticário's flagship beauty brand is No. 2 in the Brazilian Franchising Association (ABF) ranking of the 50 largest franchise networks among its members, with 3,898 operations in 2025, up from 3,746. Its AI is customer-facing and measured — an in-store skin-analysis tool across the store base and a generative-AI assistant in the app. There is little public evidence yet of AI in franchisee operations or training, so those pillars are scored low.
