The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected the overall personal care industry. Retailers of personal care are being forced to prioritize only essential products such as food, beverages, and personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, sanitizers, and soaps, along with decreased assortment sizes and stock-keeping units (SKUs) of other product categories such as herbal toothpaste. The worldwide lockdown, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, has especially inclined consumer buying behavior by shaping consumer purchasing habits. As a result of the outbreak, there is a shift in consumer inclination toward hygiene products. Moreover, the tendency of consumers toward products free from additives and toxic chemicals has been a critical factor propelling the demand for herbal toothpaste products during this lockdown. Due to the lack of accessibility of herbal toothpaste products in retail stores, consumers are inclining toward e-commerce channels to obtain these products. However, the lack of products and logistics issues are projected to produce a supply-demand gap in online platforms.
