Nykaa forecasts India’s beauty and personal care market will grow 10-11% annually from about USD 21 billion to USD 34 billion by 2028. E-commerce is projected to grow about 25% annually, while premium beauty reaches USD 3-3.2 billion.

Why this matters

The forecast supports Nykaa’s wider growth narrative, following renewed focus on its $5 billion FY30 revenue target, AI-led retail expansion and the resurfaced Kiehl’s India operations takeover.
