There were many instances where it was found that cheaper varieties of the products used harmful chemicals that resulted in disastrous results. As a result of which people contracted life-threatening problems. This has created ripples of awareness across the globe and there was a need felt for some regulatory and monitoring bodies to keep such malpractices in check. People now are again opting for natural products unless they are beyond their reach.
Shift in Lifestyle
There has been a significant shift in lifestyles. As the culture is growing towards more nuclear families, most women in families these days work, thus there is more disposable income to spend.
