Cosmetic Market in India

The beauty market in India is inching to breach the pre-pandemic levels in 2022. According to recent research by EUROMONITOR INTERNATIONAL, from April 2021 to April 2022 local market registered a strong digital push, with e-commerce beauty sales growing at 15%. 2022 sees consumers returning to physical stores, especially to prestige and premium beauty stores.

India is estimated to be the 6^th largest skincare market in the world, but it is still dominated by mass and masstige, so the growth rates of prestige beauty reveal that local consumers are looking for something different. They are experimenting with new products and treatments, they are well-informed and more attuned to international brands, so they are looking for more selective products.

Euromonitor registered an increase of 17.2% in the prestige beauty market in India during 2021. Premium skincare was the strongest category ($183m, +13% when compared to pre-pandemic data), while make-up reached a value of $94m (+8,5% when compared to 2019). Fragrances saw the greatest growth in 2021, rising 22.9% to $148m, but it remained below 2019 data. In the next months, prestige beauty in India is therefore expected to pass through further changes and new growth.
