9. Valuation: Nykaa has a large market opportunity aggregating Rs 10.6 trillion in the fast-growing beauty, personal care and fashion industry by 2025 in India. The Indian beauty and personal care market are estimated to grow to Rs 2 trillion by 2025 from Rs 1.1 trillion in 2020. The Indian fashion market is estimated to grow to Rs 8.7 trillion by 2025 from Rs 3.8 trillion in 2020. 

The growth is projected to be primarily driven by the market shift towards the organized sector, high growth of e-commerce due to increased internet penetration, growing wallet share for beauty, personal care and fashion products and increased spending leading to subsequent premiumization across categories. Further, compared to other mature e-commerce categories, beauty and personal care and fashion have lower online penetration.
