GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING PERFUME MARKET - RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT

"Perfume Market Had a Negative Effect Due to Raw Materials' Inflation During the Russia-Ukraine War"

The warfare between Russia and Ukraine has affected the entire supply chain of the world, thereby negatively impacting the perfumery sector.

The natural resources employed in perfumery on the whole are imported from war-stricken areas, fueling the enormous difficulty in procuring these indispensable constituents of the product. To make matters worse, fluctuating fuel prices induced by the war and inflation are impacting logistics and transportation, thereby putting extra pressure on the perfume brands to re-adjust the pricing of certain products and seek alternative sources for some ingredients.

Using recyclable packaging and sourcing from the most ethical sources are two examples of green practices that could attract these eco-conscious consumers.
