Indian Cosmetic Sector Analysis (2009-2012)

The Indian cosmetic Industry has witnessed rapid growth in the last couple of years, growing at a CAGR of around 7.5% between 2006 and 2008. With improving purchasing power and increasing fashion consciousness, the industry is expected to maintain the growth momentum (with marginal slowdown due to economic slowdown) during our forecast period (2009-2012). It is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period, says "Indian Cosmetic Sector Analysis (2009-2012)", a recent research report by RNCOS,

Both electronic as well as print media are playing an important role in spreading awareness about cosmetic products and developing fashion consciousness among the Indian consumers.

Additionally, the flourishing Indian fashion/film industry is fueling growth in the industry by making Indians to realize the importance of having good looks and appearances.

Despite the massive surge in the popularity of cosmetic products, our report finds that the average consumer spending on cosmetic products in India is much lesser than any other part of the world.
