Based on category, the facial care segment holds the largest share of the skin care market in India, with 33.26% of the total market share, owing to the growing emphasis on appearance, rising awareness for skin-related problems, and influence of media. The increased disposable income enables consumers to buy premium skin care products for facial care. The social and professional significance given to clear skin further inspires such demand. Skin care brands are always engaged in innovations to cater to the diverse needs within the segment. The inclination towards organic, natural, and herbal ingredients has also changed the face of age-old products, creating demands from varied demographic groups, including children, women, men, and elderly people. Thus, an amalgamation of cultural, economic, demographic, and lifestyle factors makes facial care the most sought-after category and, hence, expected to dominate the market share in the Indian skin care market.

Based on product type, moisturizers have emerged as the driving force behind the India skin care market, exercising significant dominance, holding 34% of the total market share. The country's diverse climate necessitates moisturizer use, resulting in the segment's dominance. Skin hydration is a growing concern for people in India, where weather conditions fluctuate frequently. Dry winters and humid summers make it difficult for people to maintain skin moisture, making it a top priority for them. Moreover, moisturizers for varied skin tones and types are easily available at competitive prices, which makes them a staple in daily skin care routines. Also, campaigns aimed at highlighting moisturizers as a must-have product add to the segment’s dominance. From children to the elderly, moisturizers hold quite a vast consumer base.  

Based on distribution channels, the Indian skin care market is overwhelmingly dominated by offline distribution channels with 66.54% market share, reflecting the paramount role these channels play in driving sales. Consumers prefer in-store shopping for skin care products to compare brands and check out new products. Major retailers continue to expand dedicated skin care sections for better visibility and accessibility. Additionally, organic, herbal, and natural options attract a growing clientele at natural personal care stores and health-oriented retailers. Sales have increased significantly due to sales promotions, free in-store product testing, and strategic shelf placements of products. Even if online channels are gaining ground with 33.46% of the market share, offline retailing continues to remain the primary choice of consumers when it comes to immediate purchase of these products.

The North region stands as the dominant region in the India skin care market, having a significant influence and market share of 32.88% in FY2024. The region has a comparatively greater exposure to beauty trends, facilitating higher consumption of skin care products. The region has a higher concentration of urban population, which prefers to follow proper skin care regimes. Moreover, skin care products are easily available in all supermarkets, hypermarkets, departmental stores, specialty stores, and pharmacy and drug stores in the North. Moreover, support from regulators and sustainability initiatives aimed at creating awareness and encouraging the consumption of home-grown brands.
