Download Report Summary

This Report examines the Ayurvedic beauty and personal care market in India. While Ayurvedic beauty products are trusted for their safety, there is a rising demand for visible results. Consumer data underscores the importance of repositioning Ayurveda: instead of promoting products as merely natural and safe, highlight their scientifically validated efficacy. Focus on ingredient quality, advanced technology and transparency to build consumer trust and drive growth.

Ayurveda’s potential to lead the holistic wellness shift is significant, with consumers willing to pay more for products that relieve stress, improve sleep and uplift mood. This positions Ayurveda as a key player in integrating emotional and physical wellbeing into beauty and personal care.

Lastly, consumer engagement in Ayurvedic skincare remains limited. For greater impact, align offerings with their evolving skincare needs.

This report looks at the following areas:

  • Purchase behaviour in Ayurvedic beauty and personal care categories
  • Factors consumers are willing to pay more for when purchasing Ayurvedic beauty and personal care products
  • Methods brands should adopt to enhance the efficacy of Ayurvedic beauty and personal care products
  • Features indicative of high quality in an Ayurvedic beauty and personal care product
  • Beauty and wellness features consumers are interested in trying in beauty and personal care products

Drive India’s Ayurvedic beauty market beyond ‘natural’ by blending it with science, aligning it with wellness and evolving it to meet modern skincare expectations.

Tanya Rajani, Principal Analyst, Beauty & Personal Care, India

We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.

Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.

Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
