The offline segment was valued at USD 551.10 million in 2017. Small stores that serve a single retail market are known as specialty stores or flagship stores. These retail establishments offer a specific selection of goods and accessories related to a certain genre or category. Specialty stores keep a sizable supply of the product they are selling on hand. These goods are typically more expensive, as a result, they are also of higher quality and are intended only for a specific market. Additionally, department stores, which are establishments where a lot of other consumer goods are offered in various sections, such as clothing, furniture, and shoes, are another location where perfumes can be found. These stores offer a broad range of price points. Additionally, the other retail formats where perfumes are sold are hypermarkets and supermarkets. The wide range of products available in these markets, apart from perfumes, includes groceries, kitchenware, electronics, clothing, and toiletries. Therefore, the availability of perfumes in such stores and the ease of buying from such stores will boost the market growth during the forecast period. 

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is thriving due to rising disposable income and a growing interest in personal grooming. Consumers are increasingly opting for fragrance-infused products, including fragrance-infused essential oils, over traditional perfumes. The market caters to various preferences, offering a range from luxury and exotic to natural and customized perfumes. E-commerce has played a significant role in expanding the market, allowing for easy access to a wide array of perfumes, including custom-made and unisex variants. The market is also driven by influential endorsements and innovative packaging, reflecting the evolving standards of living and consumer preferences. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

Replenishing personal grooming is notably driving market growth. Personal grooming is the practice of maintaining one's appearance and cleanliness. A well-groomed personality refers to a person's overall appearance, from the neatness of his or her clothing to the scent they give off. Influential endorsements can also play a role in promoting personal grooming products such as natural perfumes, customized perfumes, and unisex perfumes. These products are designed to meet the needs of individuals seeking to enhance their personal grooming routines.

Additionally, the use of innovative packaging and premium perfume bottles can elevate the grooming experience, reflecting changing living standards and consumer preferences. A key component of the personal grooming process is the use of fragrances. A person's choice of fragrance reveals a lot about who they are as a person, as well as their sense of taste and fashion. People can project a sophisticated aura around them with the aid of perfumes. Therefore, perfumes are personal grooming products that people frequently need. It is anticipated that this will increase demand for perfumes in India. Hence, such a factor is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

High adoption of natural, customized, and unisex perfumes is an emerging trend in the market growth. Many companies now let customers design their signature perfumes because personalization has become one of their defining characteristics. Some companies encourage customers to mix their perfumes by layering different fragrances to produce a distinctive aroma. They use technology to let customers design their perfumes based on their preferred social activities, feelings, and aromas. 

Furthermore, since no two people experience scent in the same way, it is something distinctive and individual. Men's cologne, for instance, is a favorite scent of some women. However, women now can give their perfumes more of a masculine scent due to perfume personalization. This trend has given rise to unisex fragrances because perfumes are no longer constrained by gender norms. Thus, the high adoption of natural, customized, and unisex perfumes will positively impact the growth of the India perfume market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Increasing demand for body sprays, deodorants, and deo-sticks is a major challenge impeding the growth of the market. Daily usage of deodorants, body sprays, and deodorant sticks is rising, largely due to how reasonably priced they are. Additionally, modern deodorants last longer than earlier versions did. Compared to perfumes, the use of deodorants is significantly increasing in India. Deodorants are preferred over perfumes by the younger generation (15–28 years old) due to their ease of use.

Furthermore, these products are being significantly innovated. For instance, customers are drawn to the recently released deo-stick, pocket deodorants, and no-gas body sprays. Customers' preference for these products is resulting in an expansion of the product line. To meet the enormous demand, companies like Unilever and P&G are releasing new products into the market every day.  Thus, increasing demand for body sprays, deodorants, and deo-sticks will negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
