Abstract
The U.S. market for antiperspirants and deodorants reached $1.9 billion in
2005, up 2.3% from $1.8 billion in 2004. Teenagers and young adults have

sprays, the growth segment that presents a threat to old school

decreased in spite of several new product launches and heavy marketing and
advertising expenditure.
