Furthermore, it also allows brands to collect valuable feedback and learn from their audience. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

A key factor shaping the market growth is the growing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients. In recent years, the global market has witnessed a significant transition in consumer preferences, with an increasing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients. In addition, this burgeoning trend is emblematic of a broader movement toward eco-conscious and ethically sourced products, reflecting a growing awareness of environmental and social responsibility among consumers.

In addition, the European Union REACH (Regulation of Certain Allergens to Chemicals) regulation places strict restrictions on the use of some allergens in cosmetics, including perfumes.

Therefore, companies must invest heavily in research and development to create products that not only satisfy consumer preferences but also meet these high standards. In addition, environmental sustainability has also become a major focus in regulatory frameworks around the world. Furthermore, the global market faces increased pressure to be more eco-friendly, with regulations prohibiting the use of synthetic ingredients and encouraging sustainable sourcing. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
