Euromonitor Joins World Perfumery Congress 2022 Speaker Roster

The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on all sectors of the global economy. While some categories saw massive declines in demand, fragrances managed to buck home seclusion trends that plagued other social-facing beauty categories and maintain historic momentum over a two-year period. The pandemic unexpectedly refreshed global demand for fragrances, resulting in a jolt to supply chains, a bright spot for sales and a repositioning of the category to self-care.

Euromonitor's industry manager of Beauty and Personal Care, Kayla Villena, is set to take the stage at World Perfumery Congress 2022 for the session, "Exploring Post-Pandemic Opportunities in Fragrance." This presentation seeks to explain the drivers behind fragrances' outstanding performance and to identify prospects and risks that could impact future growth.
