The increasing popularity of these brands, especially among affluent consumers, is fueling market expansion, with consumers showing a propensity to invest in luxury and premium skincare products. These brands are leveraging innovative products such as serums and retinol creams to address diverse skin concerns, catering to the evolving needs of customers.
Additionally, they are capitalizing on digital platforms and advertising activities to enhance their market presence. Moreover, internationalization efforts are boosting sales, with tourists contributing to increased demand for premium skincare offerings. With a focus on both facial and anti-aging skincare, these brands are set to drive growth in the cosmetics market, offering products that promote skin nourishment, radiance, and bounce. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.
An emerging trend in the cosmetics market is the increase in the number of distribution channels. With the growth in internet penetration, more consumers are becoming aware of the option to purchase cosmetic skincare products online. As a result, sales through online channels are steadily increasing, particularly for products such as anti-ageing creams, lotions, and serums. Cosmetic companies are also expanding their reach by selling their products through external distributors, offering consumers in regions without local suppliers greater access to a wider range of products.
Moreover, the growth of digital portals offering cosmetic skincare products has made it easier for consumers around the world to compare prices and product features before making a purchase, further supporting market growth. In addition, manufacturers are also expanding their distribution network by offering their products through their own stores and supermarkets. For instance, Estee Lauder Companies have stores globally that customers can easily access. The availability of skincare products through various distribution channels will positively impact the market growth during the forecast period.
Stringent regulations are the major challenges impeding the cosmetics market growth. These products are increasingly subject to government guidelines and approvals to avoid health concerns. Companies producing these products must ensure the safety of their products and conduct the necessary tests to test the safety of their products and ingredients. The US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD and C Act) require that every cosmetic and personal care product and its ingredients must be justified to control for prohibited ingredients before they are placed on the skincare market. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), anti-ageing skin care products that affect the structure or function of the body are considered drugs or medical devices, even if they are not intended to be classified as cosmetic products.
For example, if a product is designed to remove wrinkles or increase collagen production in the skin, the product used is sold either as a drug or a medical device. Thus, strict regulations on the approval and marketing of the products make their production labor-intensive and delay the launch of manufacturers, which hinders the market growth. Such factors will affect the market growth during the forecast period.
The cosmetics market is divided into two main distribution channels as offline and online. Cosmetic skin care products, including topical gels, creams, and ointments, are primarily sold through offline distribution channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, warehouse clubs, and drugstores. These products come in various sizes, packaging, and brands. One of the emerging trends in this market is the growing demand for eco-friendly products, which is expected to drive consumer demand for such products. The majority of global market revenue is generated through offline retail formats.
In addition, many large retailers have begun creating their own private-label brands of products. These retailers have established a good reputation, which adds value to their private-label brands. Customers prefer these brands due to their affordability and availability. These factors are likely to drive the growth of the offline segment of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the face skincare products segment will be significant during the forecast period. Face skin care products include products such as topical creams, lotions, toners, exfoliators, and serums for the face.
