The fragrance industry is experiencing a boom, with new launches, high sales and acquisitions across all ranges from luxury to mass market. However, despite this growth, fragrance companies face challenges in attracting investors.
A panel at BeautyMatter’s FUTURE50 Summit discussed the current market dynamics and investment opportunities in the fragrance industry. The discussion highlighted the rise of niche brands and the shift in how people interact with fragrances.
