Rapid Growth of the E-Commerce Industry to Augment the Perfume Market Growth
The perfumes have strongly
paved their way in the luxury world, improving the grooming habits of
individuals and becoming important products of day-to-day life. It is a
combination of aroma compounds and essential oils and is used to improve the
body odor. Perfumes are manufactured
by mixing fragrance ingredients, fixatives, and solvents. It is being
distributed across the world through a strong distribution network that
includes online and offline retail stores. E-commerce has become
mainstream in people's daily lives with profound benefits. Therefore, with the
rapid growth of the e-commerce, the perfume
market is also growing.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the
Indian E-commerce market is expected to reach US$ 200 billion by 2026, from US$
38.5 billion as of 2017. Luxury perfumes are extensively
used by various demographics worldwide mainly men, women, and unisex. They are
also used to express individuality, personal elegance, and self-confidence. Natural
ingredients such as balsams, gums, animal secretions, woods, roots, resins, leaves,
spices, grasses, fruits, and flowers are used to make perfumes. Both fragrance
and perfumes have the same meaning, but perfumes are used more frequently than
fragrances.
Perfumes are generally prepared by adding synthetic
fragrance components, called fixatives, to volatile oils that are naturally
present in plants, flowers, roots, and seeds, while fragrances are prepared by
adding synthetically derived odor compounds to an oil. Therefore, there is an
increasing demand for perfumes in developed and developing regions. In June
2020, House of Masaba collaborated with Nykaa to launch the first ever perfume,
named Burn Babe. The bottle features House of Masaba’s signature bright and
whimsical illustrations and is inspired by breaking stereotypes. This in turn
is also expected to augment the perfume market growth.
Moreover, the presence of great brands in emerging economies,
the strengthening economic condition of the emerging economies, the increasing
penchant for luxurious products, and the increasing purchasing power of
consumers are some of the factors that are driving the growth of the perfume
market. Furthermore, growth of the market, in North America, Europe, and the
Asia Pacific, is driven by the increasing urbanization and increasing
disposable income in these regions. According to the Food and Agricultural
Organization (FAO), urbanization is expected to continue at a rapid pace with
urban areas accounting for 70% of the population in 2050.
However, rise in concerns over use of chemicals in perfumes
is the major factor restarting the growth of the perfume market.
