The growth drivers – A brief look
The main challenges facing the Indian Hygiene industry are lack of awareness, cultural taboos, affordability, and market penetration. However, each issue is being addressed respectively in parts, by the industry, the government of India, and NGOs working towards improving quality of life. Aiding to these efforts, one can also see an increase in disposable income, more purchasing power of women, and rapid growth of e-commerce offering women to experiment new and alternative products, and serving as an increasingly efficient distribution platform for hygiene products. All these combined factors have contributed to a predicted CAGR of 17.9% in value and 19.9% in volume between 2018 and 2023, according to a Euromonitor report on retail hygiene.
The challenge for manufacturers
The biggest challenge Indian manufacturers face is to maintain healthy profitability while meeting this surge in demand and affordability without compromising on quality, diversifying their portfolios, and investing in innovation.
