Additionally, the growing demand of the product by people who are involved in health and fitness activities such as jogging, yoga, bicycle riding, and others will further propel the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global market owing to a lack of production, limited raw material, national & international trade barrier, and others. Furthermore, due to the lockdown in developing and developed countries, deodorant manufacturers have been forced to close their production facilities due to labor shortages. Additionally, many cosmetic stores were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the complete shutdown of borders and the implementation of lockdown practices across the world adversely affected the market growth.
Growing Popularity of Stick and Organic Deodorants to Propel Market Growth
The rising awareness among the global population toward a healthy and fresh lifestyle is driving the product demand. Stick deodorant which is in solid form and non-sticky in nature is now popularly being used as it has the ability to hold odor for an extended period of time. For instance, as claimed by Nivea, its pearl & beauty antiperspirant deodorant stick offers 48 hours’ protection, leaving the underarms smooth, soft, and beautiful.
Furthermore, organic deodorant is expected to attract more customers toward the product in the coming years owing to its skin-friendliness, proven excellence in the elimination of odor, aluminum-free nature, and others. Additionally, organic deodorant doesn’t cause stain on clothes which is also an essential factor in boosting the product demand. For instance, considering the growing demand, Shahnaz Husain Group announced the launch of herbal and organic deodorant for the Indian market in 2018.
