Innovation in Nail Polish Formulations
India nail care market share is expanding as brands focus on innovation in nail polish formulations, introducing breathable, halal-certified, and chip-resistant variants. Consumers are increasingly drawn to formulations that offer enhanced durability, quick-drying properties, and improved nail health. Breathable nail polishes, allowing air and moisture to pass through, are gaining traction among health-conscious buyers. Halal-certified polishes, free from alcohol and harmful chemicals, cater to a growing demand for ethical and religiously compliant beauty products. For instance, in May 2023, Trove & Trendy Gel Polish launched India’s first Halal certified gel polish. Designed for water permeability, it allows water to reach the nails catering to Muslim women and eco-conscious consumers. Meanwhile, chip-resistant formulas, promising long-lasting wear without frequent touch-ups, are appealing to professionals and busy consumers. Major brands and startups are launching products with advanced technology to meet evolving preferences. The rise of clean beauty trends and increasing awareness about nail health are further fueling product innovation. This ongoing transformation is expected to drive India nail care market growth in the coming years.
E-Commerce Expansion
The rapid expansion of e-commerce is reshaping the India nail care market, providing consumers with greater accessibility and an extensive product range. According to the data published by ITA. India’s e-commerce market, valued at $46.2 billion in 2020, is projected to grow at 18.29% to $136.47 billion by 2026. Pandemic effects have boosted online sales and digital payments. Online platforms such as Nykaa, Amazon, Flipkart, and specialty beauty marketplaces are driving sales by offering a diverse selection of nail polishes, treatments, and accessories. Brands are leveraging direct-to-consumer (D2C) strategies, subscription models, and influencer collaborations to attract buyers. Digital marketing, social media promotions, and AI-powered recommendations are further enhancing customer engagement. The convenience of doorstep delivery, exclusive online discounts, and easy return policies are encouraging more consumers to purchase nail care products online.
Additionally, niche segments like halal-certified, non-toxic, and breathable polishes are finding a broader audience through digital channels. As e-commerce continues to grow, it is set to become a key driver of India nail care market outlook, shaping future demand and consumer preferences.
