North America Deodorants Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
The North America deodorants market was valued at USD 5,657.96 million in 2020 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.31% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.
Key HighlightsThe rising awareness about hygiene is a result of consumer awareness and socialization of the consumers. The healthy living trend is primarily driving the deodorants market in North America. Smelling good is a sign of good hygiene and etiquette. Consumers wear deodorants regularly to maintain their hygiene, which is leading to their increased usage. Hence, for the middle-income group, companies are launching products that are cheap and effective. Increasing consumer inclination towards being presentable, sweat-free, and odor-free 24 hours is leading the key players to manufacture products that are clinically proven to stay for more than 24 hours on the body. As such most of the leading players of the deodorant market have introduced a product line, which can stay up to 24 hours. For instance, in February 2019, Unilever introduced 24-hour odor protection, a range of new Deodorant Wipes that are available from five brands – Dove, Dove Men+Care, Degree® Women, Degree® Men and AXE with an aim to continuously provide the consumer a product that matches their ever-changing needs of convenient on-the-go lifestyles.
United States holds Largest Market ShareIn the United States, younger male consumers, falling in the age group of 18 to 34, are the demographics that use body sprays at a much larger scale which is entirely driven by the variety of scents available. Unilever's Axe continues to fuel the category with new launches. Like other consumer packaged goods across categories, the US demand for natural increases as consumers look for natural alternatives. For example: In 2017, Unilever PLC acquired Schmidt's Naturals, a personal care company based in Oregon. This enabled Unilever to expand its product line in the natural deodorants segment. An established retail platform is one of the main factors that has led to the growth and usage of deodorants in the country. Furthermore, the ease in product availability and numerous brands choosing the country as a launchpad have led consumers to have access to both international and novel players in the category.
Competitive LandscapeThe North American deodorants market is highly competitive and consolidated, with a strong presence of global players. The demand is mostly driven by a higher adoption of daily personal care routines and consumers’ awareness about various brands. The major players include Procter & Gamble Co., Unilever PLC, Henkel AG & Co KGaA, Colgate-Palmolive, and Revlon among others. In the market studied, the established players that claim to offer natural and metal-free options, as well as the ones involved in sustainable practices, have a higher penetration rate across the retail shelves and online channels.
