Key Market Issues
  • With rising disposable income and the increasingly complex grooming routines of Indian men, use of Pre-Shave and Post-Shave Cosmetics products will increase and lead to these two categories taking share from the After Shaves and Colognes category.
  • Indian consumers are seeking products that meet specific requirements caused by their life stage, such as young consumers looking for single pack razors and shaving gels/foams, while older consumers look for traditional pre-shave creams from established brands.
  • A change in gender behaviors has led Indian men to seek greater grooming comfort while shaving at a low price. Meanwhile, marketers are targeting value for money conscious consumers with cheaper variants of their products.
  • A large young population with increasing spending power is driving the sales of Pre-Shave and Post-Shave Cosmetics in India. Although these categories are growing rapidly in local currency terms, exchange rate fluctuations have led to a more variable growth in US dollar terms.

Key Highlights
  • The Disposable Razors and Blades category accounted for over 98.5% of the total number of packs used in the Indian Male Toiletries sector in 2012, driving significant demand of Rigid Plastic blister packs, Paper and Board Wrappers, and Flexible Packaging Bags/Sachets.
  • The increasing use of Pre- and Post-Shave cosmetics will drive demand of Bottle, Aerosol, and Tube pack types; these are forecast to grow at a CAGR of over 4.0% between 2012 and 2017. Moreover, packaging will see increasing use of stylish designs in closures and colors, as these packs seek to stand out in the supermarket aisles.
  • India has one of the youngest populations globally and a little over half of the population is less than 30 years old. Of this, 19% are teenagers who will reach their 20's in the next five years, which offers an opportunity for marketers to target this group with new and innovative launches.
  • While positioning their brands in the Indian market, marketers should be careful with pricing and select products taking into account the average disposable income of Indian consumers.
  • Post-Shave Cosmetics will record the highest CAGR of all male Toiletries categories during 2012-2017, of 16.5% in US dollar terms. Post-Shave Cosmetics are traditionally marketed as a means to avoid irritation, moisturize skin, and help skin elasticity and freshness.
