With remote working regulations compounded by hospitality and gym closures, local consumers had restricted opportunities for social interaction in 2021. When consumers did exercise, ongoing remote working catered for time to shower rather than apply deodorant.
Tighter budgets as a result of the pandemic have had a pervasive effect on a product clearly seen as discretionary. Irish consumers are seeking the best value that their wallets can afford, which has driven down the average unit price of the most popular roll-on and spray formats of deodorants.
Given the measures put in place by the Irish government in 2021 to control the spread of COVID-19, which forced many department stores and variety stores to close for part of the year, the dominant modern grocery retailers further benefited. Discounters in particular, witnessed a rise in sales with consumers looking for value for money and an unstable economy supporting its performance.
The fall in the consumer base of deodorants has been driven primarily by the younger age demographic in Ireland as a growing minority shun deodorant usage entirely. Major players are facing an existential crisis beyond the forecast period if they cannot convert this cohort into regular consumers compared to previous generations.
The forecast period looks more optimistic with demand for most types of deodorants, with the exception of deodorant sticks, expected to improve. On the other hand, deodorant pumps and creams offer further growth potential due to immaturity in Ireland, with demand likely to be driven by consumers searching for healthier, more sustainable and natural/organic options.
