Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 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.
Increasing per capita income and changing purchase behavior are notably driving the market growth. The increasing per capita income, especially in developing countries, is the main reason for the growing disposable income of people in the region. In 2021, China's disposable per capita income for Q1 rose by around 13.7% compared with the same period in the previous year. Owing to high disposable income, consumers have the financial freedom to spend more on non-essential goods such as personal care products such as face wash. In recent times, emerging economies in APAC have been experiencing a change in consumer purchasing behavior and habits. Apart from the high discretionary income, high brand penetration, and availability of a wide range of products on online portals are influencing the purchase behavior of consumers. This is adding to the growth of the global face wash market.
Moreover, the relative growth in disposable personal income in developed countries such as the US is also contributing to a rise in consumer spending. Thus, the high price does not deter consumers from buying them, owing to their higher disposable income. It has also been noted that working women tend to spend more on personal care products. Thus, the rising percentage of working women globally is driving the global face wash market during the forecast period.
Growing preference for organic face washes is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The demand for natural and organic face washes is increasing due to increased health consciousness among consumers of personal care products across the world. Issues such as skin irritations, face allergies, nerve damage, dark marks, and other skin-related problems have increased the demand for face washes that are free from synthetic ingredients. Organic face washes are made from plant extracts, natural oils, and other natural ingredients such as sunflower oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera, turmeric, and olive oil. The manufacturers of face washes are focusing more on offering natural and organic face washes.
Moreover, venturing into organic face washes helps manufacturers differentiate their products. Organic face washes are devoid of petrochemicals, sulfates, and parabens. Also, natural and organic face washes adhere to rigorous standards of purity, which are set by the governments of different regions. Consumers trust the brand, which will drive the global market during the forecast period.
The easy availability of counterfeit products is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The influx of counterfeit products into the market is growing, especially through e-commerce platforms. The availability of counterfeit goods is adversely affecting the sales of major vendors in the global face wash market. This is a major threat to the established vendors, as it hampers the goodwill and /image of the manufacturers. Low production cost is a key factor that encourages the production of counterfeit personal care products such as face wash. These products are sometimes contaminated with petrochemicals and other harmful chemicals during the manufacturing process.
However, consumers are often misled by fake products with packaging and product names similar to those of established brands, especially in APAC countries such as China, India, and Thailand and Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Therefore, the influx of counterfeit products will negatively affect the genuine vendors' profit margins as well as the growth of the global face wash market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 51% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. APAC dominates the global face wash market. The demand for facial care products, including face wash, will witness a surge in APAC. The reason for the growth of the market in this region is rapid urbanization and rising disposable income in developing countries such as China and India. The dense population in the region, coupled with the rising demand for personal grooming products among both male and female consumers, will likely drive the market in APAC over the next five years. The strong demand for face wash products mostly stems from countries such as India, China, and Japan. Moreover, the demand for green products is on the rise, as consumers have a greater preference for herbal products, which will likely boost the sales of natural facial care products during the forecast period. Himalaya Wellness Co (Himalaya) is a vendor that offers natural products in India.
In addition, the increasing adoption of customized skincare products, such as Skincraft, a brand that provides customized facial care products in India, is also expected to enhance the use of branded facial care products in the region. Factors such as high awareness among people about the availability and benefits of face wash and the increasing middle-class population with high disposable income are expected to fuel the demand for face wash in China during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the operations of retailers in APAC in 2020. As the employees working in retail stores were also exposed to the high risk of getting COVID-19, retailers in APAC either worked with a limited workforce or temporarily closed their stores as per the government guidelines, which adversely impacted the revenues of companies. To survive in the competition, vendors promoted online sales through third-party e-commerce players, such as Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc. Since people in developing countries, such as India and China, faced job losses and salary cuts, they preferred to procure low-cost face wash, such as private-label face wash products. Overall, the face wash market in APAC will witness considerable growth during the forecast period.
