The craze for cosmetics is as old as womanhood and widespread across the globe. Today, the earnings of the world's cosmetic industry have crashed the 100-billion-dollar barrier and are soaring at an annual rate of up to 10 percent. India's market for cosmetics and toiletries is estimated to be around Rs 4,500 crore in the organized sector alone. Another Rs 3,000 crore is assessed to be the contribution of the unorganized sector, mainly offering traditional herbal and men's cosmetics. All of which is expected to take off at a phenomenal 15 percent every year - underlining the rising profile of India's economy in the new, open market regime of the new millennium.
As elsewhere, India's cosmetics industry is as old as its civilization. Traces of its rich heritage have been found among the relics unearthed at the site of the Indus Valley Civilization of 5,000 years ago. With modern technology, this ancient art of personal adornment could be transformed into a dynamic, international trendsetter of unlimited potential.
