Marc Loire Fashions operates in a highly competitive footwear market, where its results are sensitive to factors like competitive pricing, brand image, and product variety. The company faces competition from large international brands, well-established domestic players, regional competitors, and unorganised local players. This intense competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, and potential loss of market share, which could adversely affect the company's business and financial performance.

The top 10 vendors accounted for 79.54 percent, 76.99 percent, and 73.47 percent of the company’s revenue in FY25, FY24, and FY23, respectively.

The top 10 states accounted for 85.83 percent, 84.56 percent, and 87.96 percent of the company’s revenue in FY25, FY24, and FY23, respectively. Any disruption in the business environment in these regions could negatively impact the company’s operations and finances.
The company’s warehouses are concentrated in one location, Delhi. Any adverse political, social, or economic development in this region could be detrimental to the company’s operations and business prospects.
The company, its directors, promoters, and group companies are involved in certain ongoing legal proceedings. Any adverse judgments in any of these cases could be detrimental to the company’s business prospects.
Marc Loire Fashions’ business is impacted by seasonality, with higher demand for its products before festive seasons and during end-of-season sales. Any inability to manage this fluctuation in demand could adversely affect its business and financial condition.
As of FY25, the company had trade receivables amounting to Rs 9.33 crore, a sharp increase from Rs 4.71 crore in FY24. Any failure to collect these receivables on time or at all can negatively impact the business and its financial condition.
