E-Commerce, a Boon for Baby and Child-Specific Products in India: Ken Research

New Delhi, October 14, 2017: India is the world’s second largest populated country. It was observed that the Indian baby care market is growing with the increasing population. The modern trend of e-commerce is encouraging Indian consumers to shop online. Parents prefer online shopping than the store shopping because it is cheap and easy with more varieties of toys, apparel, food, cosmetics, diapers, and accessories.

In India, more number of people is aware about health, nutrition and safety. Increase in the consumer disposable income encourage the new parents to afford modern quality baby care products. All consumers with higher disposable income have higher living standards, converting into the requirement for superior products. Increase in working women resulted in less time for shopping at stores, however, e-commerce meets the need for physical shopping at baby stores.

The new regulation laws that are effective in India prevent the production, sale and promotion of infant foods; resulting in downfall of the infant food market. Majority of the baby care goods in India are purchased by the city dwellers. The cultural aspects in India also affect the sales of baby clothes, toys and accessories because majority of the Indian families follow hand-me-down practice.

Consumers are expecting convenience baby products instead of spending time on preparing traditional home-made natural, herbal and Ayurvedic solutions. A part of the Indian population still depends on the traditional home-made baby products. The availability of inexpensive products in baby toiletries such as home-made oil that discourages the use of chemical-based products for babies may lead to a slight decrease in the growth of the baby and child-specific products.
