US Fragrance Category Overview 2025

$4,725.00

Fragrance has become a scent-sational category for beauty & personal care, consistently seeing double digit growth over the past four years. The rise in popularity for this category has been attributed to a few factors. Social media and especially TikTok has sparked interest in consumers and provided a platform for discovery of new brands and the proliferation of dupe culture. Fragrance is also seen as an affordable luxury, so this category has not been as affected by the economic uncertainty as others. Fragrance also fosters a sense of personalization to your beauty routine. Consumers are looking for unique scents and have more options now than ever with new entrants to the category as well as growing formats like body sprays. Fragrance is even rising in popularity in adjacent categories such as body lotions, deodorants, and hair fragrance.

What people are saying about NIQ Beauty Inner Circle

A trusted solution

“Amid emerging shifts in consumer habits, companies are under pressure to accelerate business growth. It’s effective and now more accessible to use data-gathering technology and insights to drive results thanks to companies like NielsenIQ.

Businesses have access to immense amounts of data, and data-collecting is only going to accelerate. Executives increasingly cite the two biggest challenges for not utilizing information in decision-making as “siloed/difficult to access,” and “teams don’t have the know-how or capacity to extract insights.”
