Key Growth Drivers
- With a rise in the disposable income and improved awareness regarding personal hygiene, people are not hesitating to splurge on fragrance products, thereby propelling the growth of the market.
- Increased adoption of smartphones and the Internet, especially in tier II and tier III cities, has made e-commerce websites accessible to customers, thus facilitating online shopping. Further, in recent years, Indians have been exposed to global trends, resulting in higher demand for international fragrance brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss and Montblanc.
Key Deterrents
- Toxic chemicals like ethanol, formaldehyde and benzaldehyde, present in most fragrance products, often cause rashes or burning sensation, and may also lead to inflammation, dryness, redness and irritation of the skin. Consumers who are aware of the side effects of these chemicals refrain from buying and using such products. As a result, sales margin of the chemical-based fragrance companies get hampered, thereby leading to the growth of herbal fragrance products companies in India.
- The fragrance products market in India consist of a number of players who do not adhere to the quality standards set by authorities like CIRS (Chemical Inspection & Regulation Service), Drugs & Cosmetics Act, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). Also, counterfeit fragrance products are available at much lower prices than the original ones, and are hence popular among price sensitive consumers. This in turn is hindering the growth of the fragrance products market in India.
