Extensive research carried out by the market research analysts at Technavio has shown that the global foundation cream market will grow steadily and will post a moderate CAGR of close to 5% over the forecast period. Due to the rising concerns about the side effects of harsh and artificial chemicals in cosmetic products, the majority of consumers around the world are shifting to organic cosmetics. Although foundation cream with organic ingredients is more expensive than the regular foundation creams, the price is not a concern for consumers when it comes to natural beauty products. The growing awareness of healthy skin has discouraged consumers from using products that contain preservatives, additives, and artificial colors. Moreover, an increase in the disposable income worldwide has created a favorable environment for organic beauty products.
The availability of foundation creams for different skin types is one of the major foundation cream market trends that is likely to propel this market’s growth prospects in the coming years. To capitalize on the increasing demand for makeup products, vendors in the makeup industry are launching a wide range of makeup products. Numerous high-quality foundations are available in the market in different colors, tones, textures, and formulas. But the broad range of products in the market make the selection process confusing for the consumers. However, this confusion can be mitigated to an extent with the help of smartphones. There are apps available that help users identify their skin type to select the product best suited to their skin. The foundation cream app recently launched by MatchCo allows customers to choose the suitable product for their skin tone.

Besides the international vendors like Estée Lauder and L'Oréal, numerous local players operate in this market. The market is highly competitive, with the players competing to gain a greater market share.
