A deodorant is a cosmetic product, marketed as a spray or in the from of a roll-on, whose main purpose is to mask body odour. A popular variation of deodorant is antiperspirant, which both masks unpleasant odours and reduces the flow of body perspiration. The room deodorizer segment is not considered in this study.
The deodorant market in France is worth several hundred million euros and it has been growing steadily for the past few years. The deodorant market, which is particularly competitive, is divided between the world leaders in cosmetics and consumer goods (L'Oreal, Unilever, etc.), and the private labels. The deodorant market players are relying on a compressed format (carbon footprint reduced by 25%, using 25% less aluminium and 50% less propellant) to gain market share, following the example of Unilever.
The market for deodorants should eventually move towards greater transparency, with greater consideration of the demands of consumer associations concerning the product composition (aluminum salts, etc.). Consumers are increasingly preferring the products free of components that affect the body's skin. Aluminium-free, alcohol-free and ACH-free deodorants are various variations of deodorants that are gaining popularity among consumers. With the growing awareness of the adverse health effects of aluminium salts in deodorants, the demand for these products has increased considerably, especially among women. Cadmium, for example, has launched a range of deodorants without aluminium salts, alcohol and parabens. In addition, this product has a 48% higher efficiency against humidity. Companies such as Nivea have also introduced aluminum-free deodorants.
