Europe Deodorant Market Outlook, 2027

Europe Deodorant Market Outlook, 2027

With increasingly hectic lifestyles, Europeans are looking for convenient solutions that allow them to save time and make their lives easier. This trend flavours deodorant sprays and roll-ons, which are easier to apply and more time-saving than other deodorant types. With the increase in female employment participation across Europe, the demand for personal grooming products has grown dramatically over the years. Furthermore, manufacturers' active promotional operations across various social media platforms will considerably aid the market's expansion. As a result, the European deodorant market is expected to increase substantially throughout the anticipated period.

According to the report, Europe Deodorant Market Outlook, 2027, published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to grow by USD 8.8 Billion from 2021 to 2027. In Europe, the acceptance of the various deodorant formats differs from nation to nation. The most common product format among European customers continues to be deodorant sprays. However, as customers look for cleaner ingredient lists, such as those without aluminum and alcohol, the sector has declined in popularity. For instance, roll-ons are more preferred by customers in Scandinavian countries, where sprays are less common. On the other hand, market expansion is being fueled by R&D and advertising. To sway consumers' purchasing decisions, important players are investing on these factors.

The growing influence of social media and celebrity endorsement influences key market players' advertising strategies. Companies are focusing on innovating according to consumer preferences to increase their market share in the European deodorant market. For instance, TexPro launched a whole range of 100% organic, unscented products that prevent sweating and are suitable for people with allergies. The flagship product is a deodorant used on clothing instead of the skin, which seems to be a solution for some consumers. Also, the rising demand for vegan products across the region is boosting the demand for cruelty-free fragrances, which is further propelling the growth of the perfume and deodorant market. The increasing popularity of vegan culture is encouraging perfume and deodorant brands to focus on making products that can target the growing population of green consumers or vegans across the region.

In the last few years, many perfume and deodorant companies have introduced several vegan products with the aim of attracting more consumers. For example, The Perfume Shop Limited, a U.K.-based perfume retailer, launched three vegan perfume brands in August 2019: Citrus Fresco, Amber Glow, and Peppered Earth. These perfumes are cruelty-free and vegan-certified and packaged using 100% recyclable materials. The growth of this region is owing to the surging application of organic deodorant roll-ons, which can be attributed to the soaring awareness about the beneficial impacts of natural constituents in the European region. The increasing number of new product launches is fueling the growth of the European organic deodorant roll-on market.

Covid-19 Impacts:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the deodorant industry experienced a decline in demand due to travel limitations. The supply chain was also severely impacted. Due to the offline distribution channels’ storing tendency and consumers stepping out only for necessary things, the demand for deodorants declined as they were not recognized as essential items. However, with the easing of travel restrictions, consumer demand for deodorants increased dramatically.

The secondary research consists of third party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analyzing the government generated reports and databases.
