In the performance enhancers and capsules category, Kapiva led the segment by value at 55 percent followed by Himalaya (!5 percent), Fast&Up (12 percent), Dabur (7 percent), and Wellbeing Nutrition (6 percent), respectively.
Shilajit & ashwagandha were the top products sold under this subcategory from multiple brands, the report added.
Highlighting customer's search behaviour on blinit, the report revealed that 59 percent of search terms in sexual wellness were generic while in branded searches, Durex has the highest number of searches, followed by Kamasutra.
"Bold Care is emerging as a strong brand, challenging the dominance of established players," it added.
Despite being the original architects of global brands, advertising holding companies are collapsing in market value because they still sell human hours while the world now rewards scalable, self-learning systems.
