BEAUTY AND PERSONAL CARE IN INDIA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beauty and Personal Care Market Going Strong in 2010
Beauty and personal care still showed double digit value growth in 2010, driven by economic growth, greater
focus on innovative ingredients to create interest, and sustained advertising campaigns through the year. The
shift to smaller cities of booming knowledge-based industries, like business process outsourcing (BPO), whichtypically employ well-paid young people, put more money into the hands of consumers, who have no guilt
regarding conspicuous consumption.
Natural and Herbal-based Products Find Traction
During 2010, companies quickly ramped up the introduction of herbal, traditional ayurvedic and mineral
ingredients in cosmetics, as a means to monetise the current desire of consumers to use natural-based products.
The positioning of these ingredients was also subtly changed from a rather traditional and old-fashionedplatform to modern healthy practice, leading to greater social acceptance and higher sales through the year.
Mens Grooming Takes Off
With men becoming more comfortable with the notion of looking good, awareness of mens grooming productsincreased further in 2010. Apart from the usual categories of pre-shave and razors, mens skin care, which
promised fair and blemish-free skin, performed well. Every major brand used Hindi movie stars for instant
recall and acceptance. In addition to looking good, smelling good is another important factor for men, which has
driven growth in mens deodorants.
Direct Sellers Make Deep Inroads
The market share of direct sellers, both multinational, for example Amway and Oriflame, and domestic, for
example Modicare, rose in 2010, as a result of concerted efforts to bring in new products in colour cosmetics
and skin care to create interest and excitement, as well as the expansion of networks to reach more consumers in
smaller cities. Major players like Amway and Oriflame also started advertising, as they judged that they had
reached critical mass in terms of their networks, which would create pull if they advertised.
Steady Growth Forecast for Beauty and Personal Care
All the factors that support good growth in the forecast period are in place a modern retailing landscape
providing the right ambience and target audiences, higher education, sustained branding and good economic
growth giving consumers more money to spend. Premium products are projected to grow faster, as an increasing
middle class consumer base aspires to use more expensive products. In addition, sales of value-added products
in the mass segment are expected to increase, driven by convenience and efficacy, which will help to boostoverall value growth in the forecast period.
KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Natural and Herbal-based Products Gain Traction
Demand for natural ingredient-based and herbal products rose substantially during the review period, as a resultof greater awareness and companies attempts to push such products. Brands like Lotus Herbals Safe Sun,
Colgate Herbal toothpaste and mineral-based skin care products like Modicares mineral lipstick, were able
effectively to combine the safety aspects of natural-based products with the cosmetic aspect of looking good.
This shift in positioning of ingredients from traditional to modern opened up new opportunities in practicallyevery category in 2010.

Current Impact
The focus on natural and herbal showed up clearly in 2010 value sales. Perhaps the greatest impact was seen inhair care, where there has long been a fear of damage to the hair through using synthetic chemicals to colour it.
In 2010, Garnier Color Naturals was promoted duct based on ease of application and no side effects. Marico Ltd
saw good gains for its Shanti Badam Amla hair oil, while Parachute, also from Marico Ltd, continued to hold
top of mind recall for safe natural hair oil. One of the best indicators of booming demand is the host of local and
regional players which are increasing their offer of herbal products, riding the wave created by better known
brands.
Outlook
Herbal and natural-based products are expected to do well going forward, as a result of consumer choice veering
towards more natural and herbal products in general, and companies attempts to create differentiation. A
significant marketing insight has been to tap into existing cultural knowledge regarding several naturalingredients and their favourable impact on personal care, for example henna for hair colour, amla for hair
cleaning, and aloe vera for skin care.
Future Impact
The increasing focus on herbal and natural ingredients holds a lot of promise for companies. They have theadvantage of consumers familiarity with, and favourable impression of ayurveda, making the process of
encouraging trial and consumption far easier. Consumers are likely to be willing to pay more for safety and for
being seen as promoting social responsibility by using more natural and herbal ingredients. Nonetheless,
efficacy and convenience is expected still to be of prime importance, thus natural and herbal beauty and
personal care products will need to prove themselves to be as effective as their synthetic counterparts. Should
the efficacy of natural and herbal products be below expectations, consumers are likely to go back to standard
brands.
Direct Sellers Hit the Right Notes
The review period saw the increasing presence of direct sellers as significant stake holders in the beauty andpersonal care business. The many years of ground level penetration, creating multi-level marketing networks,and sustained, if low-key product promotion appears to have reached critical mass. One important development
in 2010 was the increase in advertising undertaken by Oriflame and Amway in order to create pull, having
decided that their networks were viable enough now to push more through them. While value market shares for
direct selling remain below double digits in most categories, there is a definite upward trend. Direct sellers are
also increasing their footprint in smaller cities, in order to tap the growing aspirant Indian population who are
looking for extra income.
Current Impact
In several beauty and personal care categories, direct sellers have seen gains at the expense of traditional store-
based brands, particularly in colour cosmetics and skin care, where direct selling companies account for more
than 10% of total value sales. The highest growth for beauty and personal care through direct selling companieswas seen in mens toiletries, leveraging rising awareness of such products among men, although this growth was
from a low base. Colour cosmetics, deodorants and skin care also saw robust growth for direct sellers in 2010.
For example, in acne treatments, Avon Clearskin gained two percentage points, to a 5% value share. In bar
soaps, Amway Persona gained share, to 1%, as did Oriflame in bath and shower. In mens grooming, direct
sellers accounted for a 3% share by value in 2010. In colour cosmetics, a fiercely competitive category in retailas well, Amways Artistry almost doubled its share, while the company Modicare saw an increase in value share
to 2%. In skin care, all the direct sellers at least maintained their shares in a growing category.
Outlook
Direct sellers invested heavily in their networks during the review period, and as consumers are now beginningto open up to using many more beauty and personal care products, the major companies are bringing their
international ranges into India as well. The outlook for direct sellers is bright, especially as they are expected tobe able to tap the huge Indian population. Companies have also ramped up their attempts to use on-line portals

Beauty and Personal Care India

as a marketing channel, with products, referrals and purchases being routed through these sites. For Amway
Enterprises India, at least, the strategy has paid off, as network expansion was boosted.
Future Impact
Direct sellers are expected to gain steadily in the forecast period, aided by greater consumer acceptance
combined with a wider range of products backed by brand promotion and deeper penetration. Consumers in
smaller cities are expected to appreciate the benefit of purchasing high quality beauty and personal care from
direct seller companies, as well as, in some case, joining such companies to gain extra income. Nonetheless,store-based brands are expected to continue to dominate beauty and personal care, as the strength of the store-
based distribution channel is well established in India.
Higher Value-added Brands Make Headway
While there was not a significant recession in India during the 2008-2009 period, there was a significant
rebound in 2010 in sales of premium products and of higher value-added products in several categories. Several
factors fell into place for this gain, such as better consumer sentiment, higher disposable incomes, more product
launches and store based retailing that expanded across India. Overall, however, premium value sales as a share
of the total beauty and personal care market remained small in 2010. Premium cosmetics growth was 25% invalue sales in 2010. Masstige brands in skin care, colour cosmetics and fragrances also did well, filling the gap
between mass and premium.
Current Impact
Within several categories there was good growth for premium and masstige products in 2010. For example,
Hindustan Unilever Ltds masstige brand Dove grew strongly. In fragrances, premium holds a 66% market share
by value. This category has been considerably boosted by the arrival in India of most of the well-known foreignbrands. Amway India Enterprises Artistry continues to hold a significant share in skin care, and is among the
top 10 skin care brands. A notable development has been the introduction of smaller sized packs, including in
premium fragrances, to stimulate trial. Companies have leveraged the increase in consumer confidence to tap
aspirant consumers who are looking to increase their status, and have push higher value-added brands in order to
achieve better margins, particularly as raw materials prices increased significantly in 2010.
Outlook
Premium and high value-added products will continue to grow, given Indias steady economic growth overall
and a more dispersed distribution of wealth, because of industries like knowledge process outsourcing (KPO)
and business process outsourcing (BPO) moving to smaller cities, coupled with a young population willing to
move up the value chain. Within the defined target group, the focus has clearly been on young men and womenmoving into higher earning professions with aspirations to purchase more sophisticated products. However,
because India still has a large rural population on low incomes, premium and high value-added products share
of the overall market will remain limited.
Future Impact
The introduction of more premium and higher value-added brands in India in the forecast period will contribute
to value growth in the overall beauty and personal care market. Rising demand will encourage manufacturers to
improve the quality and sophistication of their products in a variety of ways, from branding to packaging to the
ingredients. Premium and higher value-added brands are set to be the one of the largest beneficiaries of Indias
sustained economic growth.
Products With Modern Formats Increase Presence
During the review period, a notable trend was the increasing presence of more modern product formats, more
seen in developed Western markets than in India so far. Most Indian consumers still use older format types of
beauty and personal care products, such as talcum powder, bar soap, double edged razor blades and hair oils, as
these products are cheaper and more widely available across India.
8/2/2019 Kresge GMID - Health and Personal Care in India - Aug 2011
6/24
Beauty and Personal Care India
Euromonitor International Page 4
Current Impact
These new format products are more evolved in their usage and handling than the Indian market has previouslyseen. For instance, new depilatory formats emerged in 2010 as consumers became more aware of alternatives to
wax strips. Body shower gels, like Gillette Indias Hair and Body 2-in-1 gel, were also promoted in 2010, as an
alternative to bar soap. Mouthwashes/dental rinses also saw a higher profile in this year, with Plax and Listerine
seeking to educate consumers on their use as distinct from toothpastes. In mens razors, disposable systems still
dominate, particularly with the advent of three blade disposable razors. Gillette has tried to stimulate the
category with price cuts for its Mach 3. There has been increasing usage of more modern types of hairconditioner, such as Dove, instead of hair oil. There has also been a shift towards the use of foundations and
deodorants as opposed to talcum powder, while hand sanitiser products have entered to compete with liquid
soap. Products with modern formats have grown strongly as consumers are shifting to them for reasons of
convenience, efficacy and hygiene.
Outlook
The newer formats attempt to differentiate products and move consumers up the value chain, and the outlook for
growth remains good, not least as these start from a small base. With the expected increase in Indian consumers
sophistication in terms of discerning the benefits of product with modern formats, such products are projected togrow strongly in the forecast period, despite the fact that they are typically more expensive, as the disposable
incomes of India consumers are also expected to increase, in line with the growth of the countrys economy.
Future Impact
Many of the companies that currently have no product offerings with more modern formats are expected to
modernise their ranges, as there are opportunities for companies to modernise their brand images and improve
profit margins. Product formats which are expected to perform well are more sophisticated hair conditioners,
three blade disposable razors, hand sanitisers, deodorants and mouthwashes/dental rinses, as these products offer
efficacy and convenience to consumers. The main barrier to such modern format product types is limitations on
the availability of the products in retailers, as well as their affordability, as these modern formats are more
expensive than the longer established ones. Therefore, companies are expected to aim to promote sales of
modern formats in the forecast period by minimising price differentials and using pricing strategies which willhelp to induce trial.
Multinational Companies Shares Rise
During the review period, global brands in beauty and personal care continued to stream into India. The country
is at the inflection point in terms of the interplay of demographics, ambience for retailing high-end products,
purchasing power and economic growth, leading to trial and demand for premium products at one end, and anincrease in mass-market consumption at the other. This, in turn, has created the right entry parameters for a host
of categories, such as skin care, deodorants, fragrances and hair care. Not only are these brands stocked in
supermarkets/hypermarkets and department stores, leading to better opportunities for comparison and increased
awareness, but they are also setting up their own stores, which is a clear indication that they now judge the
market able to bear significant investment. This led to the expansion of multinational company shares in 2010.
Current Impact
The increase in multinational company shares in 2010 was most evident in fragrances, which is dominated by
multinational companies. For instance, premium womens fragrances grew by 24% in 2010, led by brands like
Dior Addict, with the share of the Dior brand rising to 6%, and Red Door from Elizabeth Arden, which reacheda 4% share. Mass womens fragrances grew by 10% in 2010, with growth led by Oriflame India Pvt Ltd. The
company introduced a whole portfolio in 2010, including Kajal, a traditional eye mascara which is very widely
used in India, and Triple Core Lipstick, which was first launched in India. Elca Cosmetics developed a whole
new line of skin care in India, its first such portfolio developed in the country, for its brand Mac, in
collaboration with Mickey Contractor, a well known make-up artist for Hindi films. It also opened up Mac
stores in Mumbai and Kolkata in 2010. Yardley of London and Oil of Olay both entered strongly in late 2009and early 2010, with celebrity endorsements by movie stars. These are brands already well known in India, but
have rather faded out of the public eye and are now being revived. Wella launched Kolestint for retail and theSebastian range of hair colourants for salons in 2010. These brands are well known in their home markets.

LOral Homme was launched in late 2010 for men. The Body Shop is now widely seen in several cities, as are
salons with Wella or LOral branding.
Outlook
The current outlook for multinational companies in India is strong and steady. In particular, wealthy younger
Indians are willing to buy into global brand stories. This is projected to be further supported in the forecast
period as the median age in the country by the end of 2016 is expected to be just over 26 years old, with the bulk
of the population being in the workforce, which will lead to an increase in disposable incomes, as well as in thelevel of consumption. Increasing awareness of global brands through multiple media channels, such as
television and the internet, will help to boost sales for multinational companies. Furthermore, the financial
muscle of these companies and their resources for innovation will help them to gain more attention from Indian
consumers in the forecast period.
Future Impact
The multinational companies are expected to increase their value shares further in the forecast period by pushing
their global brands in India, as Indian consumers are expected to be increasingly open to such products. Product
innovation will be key in the forecast period in order to differentiate product offerings from those of domesticcompanies. A major reason for this is the need for multinational companies to avoid price wars with domestic
companies. However, domestic companies are expected to pursue similar innovations with the aim of competingstrongly with international brands, while at the same time focusing on local tastes and preferences in India in
order to offer locally oriented and familiar products.
TERRITORY KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS
East and Northeast India
Trends
The East and Northeast India market size for beauty and personal care was Rs59 billion in 2010. The regionsaw good growth in several important categories in 2010. Eye make-up and deodorants, for instance, grew
strongly in the review period. The region is catching up with the rest of the country, as most states
participated in the overall economic growth of India in the review period.
This rise in demand is translating into a stronger focus on the region by companies. Umbrella brands fromleading manufacturers like Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Procter & Gamble and Emami saw more innovations
and extensions in 2010. Brands like Dove, Pantene and Boro Plus saw more product categories added, as
well as major packaging and formulation changes. As such, new product developments dominated much of
the activity in the beauty and personal care industry, with an average of almost 15 new launches and
relaunches a month.
Imported brands have increased in availability as well as affordability. Previously, imported brands,especially fragrances, were available largely in smuggled format via the grey market. However, the review
period saw the entry of a large number of global brands through legitimate channels, especially fragrances,colour cosmetics and skin care. Demand for these is concentrated in major cities like Kolkata, Patna,
Siliguri, Ranchi and Guwahati. The grey market still attracts customers due to lower prices, and counterfeit
goods are also prevalent.
Direct sellers have expanded their presence and have introduced premium offerings in colour cosmetics andfragrances. From their base in the cities, they have made inroads into the rural areas as well, especially in
the northeast. The distributor base for the direct selling companies has increased significantly. Though,
overall, Amway Enterprises remains the leading player amongst direct sellers, within beauty and personal
care products it is Avon Beauty Products India Pvt Ltd and Oriflame India Pvt Ltd which lead, with wider
and more successful portfolios. Mary Kay, Hindustan Unilever Ltd and Modicare are other notable playersin this channel.
Leading players are looking to introduce global brands across product categories such as colour cosmetics,fragrances and skin care. Many premium brands like The Nature Co have also entered the market.

Beauty and Personal Care India
Euromonitor International Page 6
Competitive landscape
Hindustan Unilever Ltd leads in the region, through a wide range of products and brands. It has theadvantage of a good network of distributors across urban and rural areas. Kolkata-based Emami Ltd has astrong network of direct distributors in rural areas, especially parts of West Bengal, which helps it sell its
products in an innovative manner.
Johnson & Johnson dominates in baby care, and has also gained substantially from the success of itsNeutrogena brand in the premium skin care segment, which is growing at encouraging double digit rates in
value terms.
The mens grooming products category is growing rapidly, aided by whitening products, as well as othergrooming products. Premium to semi-premium brands, like Nivea, LOral and Revlon, as well as mass-
market brands like Emami have expanded the category. As well as skin care, there has been a surge in
demand for other male grooming products, especially deodorants and hair care, as the well-groomed look is
considered a prerequisite for corporate success, as well as in boosting personal confidence.
Prospects
Retail development is likely to act as growth driver across the region in the forecast period. High-end malls
are being established not only in major cities, like Kolkata and other leading cities in the region, likeSiliguri, Guwahati, Patna and Bhubaneswar, but also in second tier cities and towns, like Durgapur,
Asansol, Darjeeling, Cuttack and Ranchi. The Kolkata-based malls especially South City Mall, the Forum
Courtyard and City Centre Malls, are likely to see an increased presence of global premium brands in
beauty and personal care. Being a largely trade-focused city with a high concentration of wealthy
individuals, there is a niche clientele who use imported cosmetics and would readily purchase these if they
were available locally through a trusted retailer.
Whitening will remain the leading functional benefit offered across product categories. Like the rest of thecountry, whitening will continue to be much in demand in East and Northeast India. Such products perform
well not only do in the eastern region but also in the northeast, a region where the average complexion is
fair. However, there is a substantial demand in the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Burma
(Myanmar) which is met by traders in the region, and thus sales remain high.
Manufacturers are likely to continue with two-pronged strategies for growth. In the rural areas they areexpected to focus on smaller SKUs, typically priced at Rs1-10, to drive growth through expanding the
consumer base. In the urban areas, product innovation with new functional benefits, as well as newlaunches will dominate strategies. ITC Ltd, with its strong base in the region in terms of distribution, will
continue to expand its presence in skin care, fragrances, hair care and bath and shower products.
North India
Trends
North Indias beauty and personal care market grew by 14% in 2010, to over Rs89 billion. The regionaccounted for 27% of national sales in 2010. The region, which includes the National Capital Region of
Delhi, has several fast growing cities, fuelled by the countrys overall economic growth and buoyed by new
knowledge industries employing young people, who are driving consumption.
Colour cosmetics is one of the largest categories and saw strong growth in 2010, of 25% in value, despitethe base already being large. Several categories besides colour cosmetics saw strong growth. Menstoiletries grew by 41%, within which mens deodorants saw an increase of 42%. The regions consumers
have clearly responded well to advertising and new launches. Historically, consumers in North India have
been quick to adopt new products. Many companies found penetration of rural areas easier in 2010, aided
by increasing demand from large states like Bihar, one of the most populous states in North India, which
grew strongly in the review period, lifting more people out of poverty.
In oral care, mouthwashes/dental rinses performed well, growing by 70% in value. Facial cleansers andmoisturisers also saw healthy growth, as the region is subject to long and severe winters. For most
companies, North India remains a cradle of growth. Gillette India, for instance, derived 30% of its sales of
razors and blades from the region in 2010. The number of chained supermarkets/hypermarkets is larger than
in other regions, led by entrenched players like Future Group and REI Agro, as well as government
8/2/2019 Kresge GMID - Health and Personal Care in India - Aug 2011
9/24
Beauty and Personal Care India
Euromonitor International Page 7
supermarkets. This helped push sales of high-end cosmetics and products specifically launched via chained
supermarkets/hypermarkets, like Elder Pharmaceuticals Biyu range of skin care.
Competitive landscape
Dabur India Ltd remains a strong competitor in North India, which is its home territory. Its brands Dabur
Lal Tail and Dabur Dant Manjan are well established in the region. In 2010, the company relaunched Fembleach, positioned as an alternative to cosmetic skin whitening. Dabur India Ltd held a 5% value market
share nationally in 2010.
Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd, Colgate-Palmolive India Ltd and Procter &Gamble India Ltd have all made significant inroads into the burgeoning North India market for creams, gels
and skin care.
The region is host to a large number of local players in the beauty and personal care industry. Thesetypically offer ranges including herbal and natural ingredients, riding the wave created by the major
national players. Many have also tied up with international brands to achieve national scale rapidly, as the
cost of creating and supporting brands can be prohibitive. For instance, Los Angeles-based Jordana
Cosmetics tied up with Glanor Pvt Ltd in late 2009 to launch first in Kanpur, a large city in North India,
which is Glanors home city. Lotus Herbals, which holds a 20% national share in sun care, is also strong in
the region, as its home city is Ludhiana in Punjab.
Prospects
The region is expected to remain the growth engine of the beauty and personal care market in India in theforecast period, with a CAGR of 8% in constant value terms. The prospects for the region are very bright,
as a mass of smaller cities are racing up the development curve, fuelled by good industrial growth in the
automotive, agriculture and garments industries, which are prime movers for the region. This in turn is
expected to lift millions into the middle class and drive consumption.
Categories like skin whitening facial care, deodorants and colour cosmetics are forecast to grow strongly, asregions like Delhi and Punjab are typically more showy and conscious of living standards. While many
products used in North India are season specific, reflecting severe winters and hot summers, attempts by
brands to spread usage across the year are bearing fruit, especially where the angle is a cosmetic benefit,such as anti-ageing.
The North Indian region is expected to see intense competition among manufacturers in the market.Discounts on prices, free additional quantities with certain weights/units, mother and child SKU
promotions, free gifts, coupons, etc are expected to be more frequent. Products with faster and more
effective results, with new attributes like fragrances, softness, shine, glitter and long-lasting effects are
expected to be rolled out by players. Innovative products with attractive packaging and/or value-added
benefits will get space in the market.
South India
Trends
Value sales of beauty and personal care in South India were Rs91 billion in 2010, up by 14% on 2009.Deodorants in South India is a highly under-penetrated but rapidly growing category value sales grew by
41% in 2010. Companies are working on creating greater awareness, with sales supported by rising
disposable incomes and a growing young population, Western influences and modern retailing are driving
forces in this category. It is notable that premium priced deodorants grew by 45%, while the mass-market
segment grew by 41%.
The tropical climate in South India has contributed to increased sales of deodorants and talcum powder..demand for soaps with glycerine also increases in the summer.
South India is no different from other regions when it comes to the growing need to look good. Driven inpart by sustained advertising, consumers are purchasing more branded products, leading to a shift from the
unorganised channel to the organised one. The increasing availability of domestic and international brands,
and greater product availability at affordable prices has led consumers to move away from using products
from the unorganised channel.

Traditionally a southern leader, Santoor soap is very popular in South India. South Indians like to useproducts which are perceived not to have any synthetic chemicals. Santoor is a leader in the soap category
in India, deriving more than 40% of its sales from this region, according to trade sources.
As in other regions, companies are resorting to advertising campaigns to increase their market shares. Theorganised market is concentrated in the major cities, though more lower tier cities are seeing consumers
enter the channel. Modern retail is driving the market for beauty and personal care.
South India was early in India in seeing the development of chained supermarkets/hypermarkets and, assuch, is more advanced in terms of private label than certain other regions. Private label is growing strongly
in beauty and personal care categories. The deodorant category is set to see increased competition. FutureGroup has rolled out a deodorant range for men under its private label John Miller. The success of
deodorants in the urban market has encouraged the leading players in the category to launch more
deodorant-related products. Future Group has also launched toothpaste and toothbrushes under the brand
Sach.
Competitive landscape
2010 was a year of relaunches for CavinKare, one of the best known South India-based companies.Attempts were made to differentiate products, for example, Fairever, the fairness cream, now comes with a
fairness meter (like Garniers fairness cream), Chik Shampoo now has vitamin H for soft hair, Indica Hair
Color now promises hair colour in 10 minutes, and Meera Shampoo is gearing up to take on the major
brands in the masstige segment, such as Procter & Gambles Pantene and Unilevers Dove.
Young people in India, who are typically wealthier and much more aspirational than previous generations,are increasing their presence in the hair colourants category in urban areas, pushing demand for higher end
brands and prompting new players, such as Procter & Gamble, CavinKare, Dabur India Ltd and Wipro
Consumer, to enter.
In 2010, Pepsodent brand made a significant investment in making the film actor Shah Rukh Khan its brandambassador. The brand is running two TV advertising campaigns featuring Shah Rukh Khan. Oral care alsorecently saw the entry of Kishore Biyani-led Future Group, with toothpaste and toothbrushes under the
brand Sach. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare forayed into the category by launching Sensodyne
(which was previously available as an import), a toothpaste brand for sensitive teeth. CavinKare hasrepackaged and relaunched the Fairness Cream brand. The actress Asin will be its brand ambassador across
all markets, instead of just the South.
GR Fragrances India has launched Conquer, a fragrant natural spray for men, with a combination notusually seen for mens fragrances. It is a blend of bergamot, lemon and rosemary, with hints of basil, amber
and patchouli. It ends with notes of cedar wood, leather and sandalwood. The company has also launched a
new fragrance for men called Victory. It contains coriander, rosemary and sage, and is accented with amber,
oak mass and sandalwood. Lifestyle launched the fragrance Love & Luck by Ed Hardy.
The Indian baby care category is dominated by a few big players that have established themselves in thisindustry over a long period. Players like Dabur India Ltd, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble
dominate in different product segments.
Prospects
Colourants, in hair care, is expected to be a rapidly growing category in the forecast period. Apart fromLOral, other brands in the category include Godrej Consumer Products Renew and Revlon. Value sales
in South India are predicted to grow by a CAGR of 14% in constant value terms over the forecast period, as
the regions changes are much in line with those seen in West and North India.
ITC Ltd has been pushing its Vivel skin care range, while its Fiama shampoos are also being advertisedheavily. The company is projected to focus on the bar soap, skin care and shampoo in order to leverage on
the economic of scale as well distribution strength of the company in the forecast period.
Indians have long been perceived to be more savers than spenders, but are increasingly loosening theirpurse strings and starting to live for today. This changing mindset has led to consumers pampering
themselves and spending more on beauty and personal care. The modernisation of the country has led to
changing aspirations, and the need to be considered good looking, well-groomed and stylish has taken onnew-found importance. Urban men have become more aware of personal grooming and are seeking out

relevant products. An increase in the number of women joining the workforce has also given impetus to the
beauty and personal care market.
The economic downturn affected the beauty and personal care market to some extent, but all trends point tothose dark days being firmly in the past. In 2010, many South Indians shifted to premium segments from
the economy segment. This was visible in fragrances for instance, where in South India premium fragrances
grew by 27%, the highest growth of any region in India, while mass fragrances grew by less than 14%.
West India
Trends
Value sales of beauty and personal care in West India were Rs92 billion in 2010, up by 14% on 2009. Thismakes West India the largest region in India, just ahead of South India.
West India accounted for 28% of national sales in 2010. This region has historically been vital to theindustry as it is home to two of the most industrialised states in the country Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Consequently, consumer spending power tends to be high. Mumbai city alone accounts for a significantproportion of many companies sales.
Skin care, hair care and colour cosmetics are rapidly growing categories in this region. With Mumbai citydrawing aspirants for business and movie glamour from all over the country, there is a strong emphasis on
style, the use of premium products, and looking good in general.
Bath and shower is the single largest category in value terms, valued at almost Rs25 billion in 2010,corresponding to 26% of regional sales. Within bath and shower, bath soaps hold near total dominance.Another other major category is hair conditioners, which companies have successfully positioned as a must-
have product for glamorous hair.
Oral care notably toothpastes was also a significant category for the region in 2010. Colgate-Palmolive,which is the leader in this category, undertook massive programmes promoting oral care in 2010, focusing
on dentists and schools. Given the higher level of education and awareness in this region, the market
responded well to these initiatives. Oral care grew by 12% and within that mouthwashes/dental rinses grewby 71%, from a small base.
West India is also more developed than other regions in terms of infrastructure, making market penetrationeasier and faster. The expressway linking Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat, to Mumbai runs through
the industrial belt of south Gujarat and the rich agricultural area of central Gujarat, opening up the market
significantly.
Competitive landscape
Several major beauty and personal care companies are based in Mumbai. Consequently, particular attentionis paid to the city and to West India as a whole, as the region has large and prosperous urban and rural
markets. Hindustan Unilever Ltd leads in the region, with its strategy of straddling all price points and
deploying its full portfolio being well implemented in the region.
The rural market is well penetrated, with not just by national companies but also by a host of regional
players, which have a strong presence. Nirma Ltd, with its detergents and soap range, still has a highprofile, but in 2010 it announced a scaling back of its consumer products, which may eventually result in
the company exiting the industry entirely.
Paras Pharmaceuticals and Zydus Wellness Pvt Ltd are two regional players which are rapidly scaling up toa national presence. While Paras Pharmaceuticals was present in the market throughout the review period,
Zydus Wellness Pvt Ltd first appeared in the market in 2009, and 2010 saw it consolidate its market share
in several categories, mainly skin care-related, where it has decided to focus.
Prospects
West Indias prospects are very bright, given that this region is the cradle of industrial growth and economicactivity in the country. With Indias economy projected to grow strongly during the forecast period, the
purchasing power of this region is expected to drive healthy growth in sales of beauty and personal care.
The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% in constant value terms over the forecast period.

The region is expected to maintain its lead in terms of beauty and personal care sales during the forecastperiod. Increasing urbanisation in West India, and the move of BPO/KPO companies into smaller cities like
Gandhinagar in Gujarat and Pune in Maharashtra is driving demand for a whole range of discretionary
products.
RURAL VS URBAN KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Trends
69% of beauty and personal care sales value in 2010 was accounted for by urban areas. However, ruralareas share grew steadily over the review period.
Due to increasing saturation and cut-throat competition in urban India, many FMCG companies aredevising strategies for targeting rural consumers. Many companies are focusing on expanding their
distribution networks so as gradually to penetrate rural areas, contributing to the rise in share of beauty and
personal care accounted for by rural areas over the review period.
In the coming years, innovation in products and marketing strategies will be the key focus areas for most of
the companies operating in the Indian baby care category. It is also expected that in future, penetrating deepinto the urban market in conjunction with the rural market will provide growth opportunities for industry
players.
A key industry trend is the move towards natural products containing herbs, vitamins and minerals.Traditional materials, such as neem and tobacco, are popular for cleaning, particularly in the rural areas.
Companies like Dabur India Ltd and Himalaya are launching toothpastes with natural ingredients to cater to
such demand.
Toilet soap, which was once only available in urban areas, has now penetrated practically all areas,including remote rural areas. Growth has been driven by population increases and a rise in usage, aided by a
greater concern for hygiene.
There is scope for product differentiation from region to region, and even within regions. For example, the
states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa are largely dominated by rural consumers, and the favoured colours forcolour cosmetics tend to be very bright, such as red and orange. Conversely, the consumers of the northeast,
as well as Sikkim and northern Bengal districts like Darjeeling and Siliguri, are much more modernised and
westernised compared to the rest of the region and tend to follow the latest global trends. Hence there is
room for different product categories and price points in the region.
Rural North India provides a lucrative pool of consumers for companies in the beauty and personal caremarket. There are numerous affluent families in the rural regions of Delhi, Punjab and Haryana withhousehold incomes which are on a par with their urban counterparts. Rural Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and
Kashmir, and Rajasthan are emerging areas where consumers are increasingly well aware of the latest
developments in the beauty and personal care market, due to increased penetration of cable TV and other
media coverage.
With increasing exposure to print and electronic media, and rising literacy levels, rural consumers
expectations are changing as their living standards are rising. In addition, rural younger generations areincreasingly travelling to and staying in urban areas and are influencing the development of product
demand in the rural markets.
Penetration of modern oral care products is low in India. Average per capita consumption of toothpaste inIndia is very low, at approximately 110g, and many people in rural India still clean their teeth with
traditional products like twigs of the neem tree, salt or ash. However, the category is forecast to growrapidly due to increasing awareness, supported by advertising campaigns and manufacturers efforts to
penetrate rural areas with their oral care products.
Competitive landscape
Historically, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, ITC Ltd, Colgate-Palmolive, Dabur India Ltd, Marico Ltd and GodrejConsumer Products have had a significant presence in the semi-urban and rural markets. Improving
economic conditions and more developed infrastructure, such as road networks, has helped open up hithertountapped areas.

Word-of-mouth is a significant driving force in rural markets, while retailers are another key influence ofthe buying decisions of rural consumers. Rural consumers are very conscious of getting value for money,
thus if a product is marketed with an emphasis on low price, high quality and multiple uses, this will form a
strong base for healthy sales of the product in the rural market.
The major challenge for companies is to create effective communication using local language, and to help
rural consumers recognise brands and logos. Focused brand-building activities, like participation incommunity events such as village fairs, local and weekly markets, street theatre, etc, are being adopted by
companies to reach out to rural consumers.
Prospects
There remain substantial opportunities in most beauty and personal care categories in the rural market. Aswell as road and rail connectivity improving, television and mobile penetration have increased dramatically,
making penetration of rural markets easier for manufacturers. While the soaps category in India is mature in
urban markets and seeing a degree of saturation in rural markets, other categories, like lip care, sun care,baby care and hair care, have significant scope for further penetration of rural areas.
Indian manufacturers are looking at ways to push their products. Well-established products are beingrelaunched with new packaging. Companies are coming up with 1+1 offers, in both the premium and mass
segments. Such strategies will be critical importance in rural markets.
In the forecast period, the rural areas abutting the National Capital Region in the North and large cities likeMumbai, Kolkata and Chennai are all expected to benefit from their proximity to the urban centres in termsof availability of products and awareness.
The Indian skin care solutions business is growing rapidly, with safe and effective procedures, advances inmedical technology and an increase in awareness. Sales of skin care have grown in rural areas at a more
rapid rate than in urban areas.
The unit prices of skin care products in India rose in 2010. This was mainly due to increasing prices of keyraw materials, such as palm oil and petroleum-linked inputs. Maintaining affordability for rural consumers
is crucial, and offering smaller sized packs with low unit prices will thus remain a path to sales growth in
rural markets.
