India Wet Wipes Market By Product Type, By Distribution Channel, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2028F

India wet wipes market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 18.38% during the forecast period to reach around USD250.60 million by 2028F on account of several factors such as rising per capita income, changing consumer perception, increasing preferences for hygiene products. The vast variety of product categories provided by the wet wipes producers in the nation is another important factor driving the expansion of this market. In addition to the standard washing tissues such as wet toilet paper, baby wipes, or hard surface wipes, other products such as sunscreen lotion or deodorant are also available as wipes. Additionally, businesses are concentrating on releasing such goods in the market that serve the dual purposes of being environmentally friendly and effective at cleaning. As an illustration, consider businesses such as Pampers and Mamaearth that provide baby wipes made with plant-based fiber. Therefore, these factors are anticipated to spur the growth of the wet wipes market over the forecast years.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, customers preferred visiting adjacent grocery/Kirana stores, pharmacies/drug stores, and e-commerce platforms for their purchases instead of hypermarkets and supermarkets due to the country's strict lockdown enforcement. Following the COVID-19 epidemic, brands concentrated on expanding their product portfolios on e-commerce platforms. However, important players have been focusing more on e-commerce as the lockdown limits have been loosened and consumers have become more tech aware.

Due to the expansion of e-commerce, especially in light of India's rising rate of internet penetration, wet wipes manufacturers now have new opportunities to connect with their clients. The online sales channel has greatly aided in the evolution of the wet wipes market in India by making it feasible to interact with clients in even the most remote locations and to expand distribution networks.

Increasing Demand for Facial and Cosmetic Wipes Fueling the Market Growth

Rising Demand for Organic Wet Wipes Aiding the Market Growth
