Lunar buys control stake in Yeehoo

PRIVATE equity firm Lunar Capital Management yesterday said it has acquired an as-yet unspecified but controlling stake in domestic baby-related products maker Yeehoo for US$100 million, which will help it further tap China's consumption boom.

Founded in 1995, Yeehoo offers a range of more than 4,000 products targeting infants, and has survived the fierce competition in a fast-growing market.

According to a research by consulting firm China Venture, the sales of child-related products in China have been growing at annual pace of 22 percent and may hit 306.1 billion yuan (US$ 48.6 billion) in 2013. Lunar will help Yeehoo expand via two acquisitions and an overseas partnership, and extend its presence from 150 to 300 Chinese cities in the foreseeable future.
