Euromonitor’s Presentation:
Title: Reconnecting Fragrance to Its Artistic Value
Speaker: Nicholas Micallef, Industry Analyst – Beauty and Personal Care
Presentation Date & Time: Tuesday September 15 from 10 a.m to 10:45 a.m
Presentation Outline: While developing regions are anticipated to contribute the greatest growth to fragrances over 2014-2019, developed markets are in a state of saturation. A rapid launch activity in the mainstream market is not necessarily indicative of unabated innovation, but merely of a category that struggles to provide a captivating offer, leading to a short-lived market presence. On the other hand, the genuinely novel is making leaps and bounds as evidenced by the expansion of niche perfumeries. Even regional players in markets where the use of scent is culturally ingrained, namely the Middle East, while they are positioned as mainstream players in their home markets, they are establishing themselves as niche in Western cities. Niche perfumeries’ main challenge is their present growth. Any deviation from their focus on the creative value and the use of high quality ingredients is likely to alienate perfume enthusiasts. Their exclusive nature is not for democratising but to satisfy a defined consumer group who appreciates perfume for its artistic value.
