Deodorants are scent or fragrance products that help transform the body odors into a fresh smell. Body odor is generally developed by bacterial growth, as the bacteria feed on sweat and break it down. Deodorant contains antibacterial properties that act on the growing bacteria and halts its process of breakdown. The fragrance droplet of deodorant helps stop and transform the body odor into a fresh smell. Different types of deodorants are available in the market, which include aerosol spray, roll-ons, cream, and others. Increase in popularity and demand for deodorants has been witnessed since past few years, due to improvement in lifestyle, sense of feeling fresh, personal grooming regime, and personal maintenance of hygiene. In the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the distribution channel got disrupted, resulting in a gap between demand and supply. On the other hand, consumers have shifted their interest toward the essential products that would help them survive the days of lockdown. Furthermore, deodorant has become an integral part of human grooming habits; therefore, with growing population the demand for deodorant also is also expected to increase.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19, has affected the deodorant market negatively. Deodorant is a personal hygiene product that helps keep fresh and stops bacterial growth on the skin. During the ongoing pandemic, deodorant is not considered a necessary product; therefore, the demand for deodorant has decreased during these times.
- As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries to enforce lockdown, the supply and distribution chain had disrupted. There was restriction on the import and export of deodorants as it was not an essential product. Hypermarkets/supermarkets and convenience stores were closed, creating a gap in demand and supply.
- The production process for new batches of deodorant had become a challenge for companies due to the limited availability of labor, disrupted raw material supply, and logistic issue.
Top Impacting Factors
- Changes in lifestyle, rapid urbanization, and daily grooming habits have increased the demand for deodorants over the past few years. Personal hygiene habit has majorly influenced the increased usage of deodorants, forcing the companies to level up their production.

On the other hand, metropolitan population is interested in high-priced product to satisfy their esteem needs. The demand for both types of products is forcing the companies to increase their production to meet the market demand and ensure there is no gap between demand and supply.
