Increases in disposable income and demands from India’s middle-class are driving growth in the beauty and personal care category including the fragrance sector. The introduction of affordable price points and small packaging has shattered initial usage barriers wherein fragrances were considered a ‘premium’ offering; they are now within the reach of the masses.

In this video, Mintel takes a look at the trends shaping the fragrance market in India, the purchase drivers among consumers, as well as the recommended strategies for companies and brands.
