Fondness for using fairness cream among young adults across India in 2016
The Indian fairness cream market was worth about 450 million U.S. dollars. Aspiring to have fairer skin is common in the country while demand for fair-complexioned brides and grooms act as a catalyst to the phenomenon. It is called the "Snow White Syndrome", because the sales of whitening creams outsell those of Coco-Cola and tea.
Figures may not not add up to 100 due to rounding off.
