Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing demand for natural and organic cosmetic ingredients is the key driver for the growth of the global cosmetic ingredients market. In the last few years, there has been rapid growth in the demand for natural and organic cosmetics that contain little to no chemicals. However, skincare and hair care cosmetics manufactured using synthetic ingredients are highly effective over the short term. Established players in the global cosmetic ingredients market, such as BASF SE and Croda International Plc, are placing major emphasis on expanding their portfolio of natural ingredients.
Moreover, due to the increasing awareness about the benefits of natural cosmetic ingredients, several cosmetics vendors have started offering a range of skincare and hair care products that contain natural and organic ingredients. For example, in June 2021, SOBiO etic, launched its organic beauty product line in the US. The company has been making more investments in developing healthier and organic products. Beiersdorf Global AG offers a range of cosmetics under the brand NIVEA have 95% natural origin products, which are free from synthetic ingredients such as parabens, silicones, colorants, and mineral oil. Altogether, this shift toward natural and organic cosmetics is expected to grow the market during the forecast period.
The growing prominence of clean labeling in cosmetic formulations is the primary trend in the global cosmetic ingredients market. Clean labeling in the cosmetics sector refers to the minimal use of synthetic ingredients in cosmetics. The adoption of artificial and synthetic ingredients is reduced due to the clean labeling in cosmetics over the last few years. Similarly, manufacturers are developing organic and sustainable means to make ingredients, and cosmetic companies are rising emphasizing the use of natural ingredients to promote clean labeling in cosmetics.
Moreover, major vendors in the global cosmetic ingredients market, such as Koninklijke DSM NV and BASF SE, are rising their focus on the expansion of their portfolio of clean-label cosmetic ingredients. For example, in April 2019, BASF SE launched Euperlan OP White an eco-friendly, biodegradable, wax-based alternative to synthetic polymer opacifiers. Hence, the rising prominence of clean labeling in cosmetics and cosmetic ingredients is expected to further encourage R&D activity among vendors for the development of eco-friendly alternatives to artificial and synthetic ingredients during the forecast period.
The threat of toxic ingredients found in counterfeit cosmetics is the key challenge to the growth of the global cosmetic ingredients market. Significant growth in the sales of skin care and hair care cosmetics through online retail channels such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay has shown the availability fake of cosmetic products. These fake products generally replicate the packaging features of established brands and are sold at lower prices through online retail channels, especially in China and India.
Moreover, cosmetic vendors do not ensure safety checks for their ingredients and final products and do not adhere to any health regulations and certification procedures. Toxic ingredients such as lead, arsenic, copper, mercury, beryllium, cyanide, paint strippers, and aluminum are contained in Counterfeit cosmetics products. Because of these toxic ingredients, they can cause severe health issues such as nervous disorders, reproductivity complications, and toxicity within organs such as the liver and kidneys, leading to organ failure and cancer. Altogether, the threat of toxic, unregulated ingredients used in counterfeit cosmetics is expected to impede market growth during the forecast period.
