"Why pay a middleman when your product can speak for itself?"

For many personal care product exporters in India, relying on third-party agents has been the norm. But in 2025, the tide is changing. Indian manufacturers in beauty and personal care are breaking free from traditional trade barriers, choosing smarter, tech-enabled methods to reach global buyers, wholesalers, and suppliers directly.

This shift isn't just about saving costs; it's about speed, control, and transparency. Thanks to b2b trade websites and AI-powered b2b ecommerce platforms, exporters can now scale without middlemen.

In this article, we’ll explore how exporters in India’s personal care sector are going global without agents, the tools they’re using, the challenges they face, and how platforms like Pepagora are leading the way.

Why Exporters Are Saying Goodbye to Agents

Hidden Costs and Limited Control

Traditional export agents often charge high commissions, sometimes between 5–15% of the deal value. Beyond costs, they also control communication, timelines, and negotiation. For growing brands, this means reduced margins and slower decision-making.

Global Access Through B2B Marketplaces

Modern exporters are turning to b2b online portals like Pepagora, which connect them directly to verified global buyers and suppliers. These platforms offer:

  • 24/7 product visibility

  • Real-time buyer inquiries

  • AI-assisted recommendations (coming soon on Pepagora)

  • Transparent payment systems

This means exporters maintain ownership of their customer relationships while reaching a wider audience.

How to Scale Without an Agent: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Build a Digital Product Catalogue

Ensure your product range (e.g., skincare, haircare, wellness) is professionally photographed, well-described, and keyword-optimized.

2. Register on a Global B2B Platform

Join trusted platforms like Pepagora, a b2b e-commerce platform where verified buyers and suppliers connect seamlessly.

3. Use AI and Automation to Respond Faster

With limited AI support rolling out on Pepagora, exporters can soon automate follow-ups, manage pricing queries, and track shipments all without manual effort.

4. Develop a Logistics & Compliance Plan

Exporting without an agent means managing documentation, shipping, and compliance on your own—or partnering with export-friendly service providers.

Data-Driven Growth: The Stats Speak for Themselves

According to Statista, the global personal care market is expected to reach USD 758.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.8%. India’s exports of beauty and personal care products have also grown by 23% year-on-year in the last two years (Source: Ministry of Commerce, India).

This growth is driven by digital buyers seeking cost-effective, natural, and cruelty-free products from emerging economies like India.
