Heatwaves aren't the only reason Indians are buying more sunscreen; skincare awareness is the bigger driver
· Business Today Mkts
India's sunscreen market is witnessing rapid growth, with the number of sunscreen-buying households more than tripling in four years. Neude Skin founder Aayshya Jhunjhunwala says rising skincare awareness, concerns over pigmentation and premature ageing, and changing weather patterns are driving demand beyond seasonal use.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
