Indian Fashion Brands Expand into Growing Perfume Market Amid Scaling Challenges
Fashion brands in India are increasingly integrating fragrances into their product lines, viewing perfumes as an extension of their brand and a growing consumer grooming category. Brands like Libas and BIBA are expanding in this space, targeting affordable price points around Rs 1,000. The perfume market, valued at Rs 5,500 crore, is growing rapidly, especially in the masstige segment favored by younger consumers. However, challenges remain in scaling due to consumer loyalty to signature scents and a gap between budget and luxury offerings.
