MARKET TRENDS
India’s expanding upper-middle class and affluent urban population are reshaping the luxury cosmetics landscape. According to IBEF, India’s middle class is expected to rise from 31% in 2020-21 to 61% by 2047, increasing the consumer base from 432 million to 1.02 billion. This demographic shift drives demand for premium beauty products, with urban professionals in metros and tier 1 cities investing in high-end skincare, makeup, and fragrances. Influences from global beauty standards, travel exposure, and social media accelerate demand, as consumers seek efficacy, ingredients, and premium packaging, moving the market toward indulgence and self-expression.
Clean and sustainable luxury is emerging as a major purchase driver, particularly among millennials and Gen Z consumers. Demand is rising for cruelty-free, organic, and eco-friendly formulations that avoid parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. Brands like EO Naturals by Siddhayu International, launched in September 2023, exemplify this trend with natural, luxury skincare products that support environmental sustainability and local communities. Packaging trends favor recyclability, refillable designs, and minimalism to reduce environmental impact. Certifications such as vegan and non-toxic are enhancing consumer trust and loyalty.
The influence of social media and influencer advocacy for conscious beauty promotes awareness and demand for clean beauty. Both international and Indian brands are launching high-end clean beauty lines to capture evolving consumer preferences. As sustainability integrates into brand values, clean luxury products are expected to define the market's future. These trends contribute significantly to the growth and diversification of the India luxury cosmetics market.
