Innovative new scents and delivery systems, products that resemble decorative
accessories, the lure of aromatherapy in an increasingly stressful world: these
factors have spurred the U.S. home fragrance market. Even as growth in the
once-explosive candle segment slows, new offerings in air fresheners and
environmental fragrances, such as products designed to mask pet odors, are
picking up the slack. This new Packaged Facts report, the 4th edition, provides
a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. market for home fragrances, including the
consumer environment; "mass" and "class" channels and the
crossover trends that enhance sales; and retail figures for both the air
freshener and environmental fragrance categories. Also featured: IRI share data;
Simmons demographic data; and competitive profiles of major players in the
field.
