Market Insights: Baby Care Products in India

The baby care market in India is huge, but still evolving and there are discernable buying patterns in terms of what parents buy, at what price and where.

• The skin care product segment was the biggest in 2024 with toiletries including such things as shampoos and washes set to see the fastest growth.
• As the mass segment is about 80% of the market, volume is achieved through affordable trusted products.
• 1-3 year olds account for nearly 64% of category sales, leaning into brands that grow up with your kid.
• Traditional items remain the approximately 77% share, meaning there is still a place for gentler, natural-positioned products.
• South India is the leading region in terms of market share (~35%).

For PCD partners this equates to opportunity in wallet friendly, pH friendly bath and body necessities with high repeat potential.

Growing Demand for Baby Care Products

But that adds up to about 25 million new Indian babies each year, and higher incomes, urbanisation and working parents are getting families to the specialised baby products aisle. Coddled up to 20% of Indian babies have skin problems and parents are now scrutinising labels for gentle and skin-friendly ingredients.

• The baby skin care industry is forecasted to grow at a rate of 12.6% per year through 2031.
• Natural and organic products are outperforming the total market, growing at an average rate of about 13.9% per year.
• Online shopping opens up access to niche products to a greater extent, including in cities.
• A growing understanding of the importance of infant hygiene will contribute to increased sales of pH balanced products for baby care, including shampoos, moisturisers and massage oils.

All of these trends, combined, spell out baby care as a repeat purchase category, with parents coming back for bathing, moisturising and massage products as their child develops. The Hacks & Slacks Healthcare Zigloo and Hubybuby line has just the right gentle, pH-friendly products to cater to this growing need.

Why Does Baby Skin Need Specialized Care?

Baby skin is still established to protect the outermost layer of skin in those early years, leaving it more permeable, and more sensitive to its environment than adult skin. A simple drop in temperature, for example through the use of synthetic fragrances or deodorants or even the use of harsh, everyday detergents combined with prolonged standing in water can all cause damage resulting in dryness, chapping or rashes. As a result, regular, adult skincare products are not suitable replacements, and formulations have to be carefully selected with your baby’s skin requirements in mind. This consideration is central to every single product in our Baby Care range.

What are the Benefits of Applying Moisturizing Creams, Oils, and Shampoos for a New Born?

Moisturizes the skin 

Any infant’s healthcare regimen must include a baby cream for dry skin in winter. A baby’s sensitive skin may become dry and unpleasant during the chilly winter months due to the cold air. Furthermore, exposure to extreme temperatures can easily irritate a newborn’s skin. By retaining natural moisture and acting as a barrier against wind, cold air, and other irritants, baby cream helps protect against these environmental variables.

How do we protect the baby’s skin from environmental factors and other day-to-day activities?

• Make sure to keep your baby’s skin away from sunlight. Sun exposure should be minimal.
• Apply only if your baby’s skin is dry. Not all babies require moisturizer.
• Make sure to always handle the skin with clean hands, and do not use cosmetic products that can be harmful to the skin.
• Only use the products that are specially designed for the soft skin of the babies, and considering a pediatrician is also important.

Our Approach to Baby Care

We appreciate that selecting products for a baby is never an easy decision. Expectant parents are looking for ingredients they can be sure of, textures they can feel comfortable touching, and visible effects that will be obvious in their baby’s comfort and skin state. For this reason, our Baby Care range has been created to reflect a straightforward philosophy: keep formulations mild, keep routines simple and never skip the quality assurance checks undertaken by each product before reaching the home. From the bathing bar to the everyday moisturizer, the whole range is designed to slot into rather than add to a parent’s routine.

Simple Tips for Everyday Baby Skin Care

Some easy habits can significantly contribute to taking care of your baby’s skin:

• Limit exposure to direct sunlight, keep your baby in shaded or covered places as much as you can.
• Moisturize-only when your child actually feels dry, not every day as some babies don’t require.
• Always wash your hands before touching your baby’s skin and remember to never use any products other than those meant for babies.
• Select products formulated for baby skin. If irritation persists for a week or more, see your pediatrician.

A Simple, Evidence-Based Baby Skin Routine

• Postpone the first bath. The World Health Organization recommends delaying the first bath for at least 24 hours after birth (or a minimum of 6 hours if it is not culturally feasible). A 2022 systematic review showed there is low certainty evidence that postponing a first bath could help prevent hypothermia. Postponement allows for more skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding.
• Bathe sponge style until the cord falls off. Leave the stump dry and do not submerge in water until the stump has fallen, usually within one to two weeks.
• Use soap sparingly. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that you don’t need to give a baby a full bath every day in his first year, since too many baths may dry out your baby’s skin. Instead, clean his face, neck and nappy area daily.
• Go gentle. When cleansing is necessary, select a mild, fragrance-free product with a neutral pH and no deodorant, perfumes, or perfume carriers. Hair should be washed 2 to 3 times weekly. Some hospital protocols allow only water to be used during the first 4 weeks.
• Moisturise after a shower. Gently pat yourself dry and apply cream moisturiser a few minutes post-shower as this helps to lock in moisture. Test skin on a small area first.
• Gentle massage. Use the fingers to gently stroke a warm, comfortable baby with slow, soft movements. Avoid vigorous roaming or harsh pastes on young skin.
