Personal care ingredients to touch US$14.9 billio

The global market for personal care ingredients is poised to touch US$ 14.9 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of 4 per cent. These ingredients serve myriad functions, including cleansing, moisturising, toning and styling, among others. Factors such as higher disposable incomes, an inclination towards premium cosmetics and an upsurge in manufacturing activities contribute to this steady growth. While Europe has the highest demand for personal care ingredients, Asia-Pacific and North America follow closely. Emollients, emerging as the frontrunner in this market, dominate in terms of value. Widely used across skin, hair, oral care, make-up and toiletries, emollients offer soothing properties, helping the protective barrier on the skin surface.

Bio-based cosmetics to reach US$7.75 billion by 2030

The global market for bio-based cosmetics and personal care ingredients is witnessing significant growth, projected to reach US$ 7.75 billion by 2030 with a robust CAGR of 5.72 per cent. This surge can be primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of bio-based technologies in the beauty and personal care sectors.

Consumers’ growing preference for advanced formulas and active ingredients has prompted cosmetics companies to invest heavily in bio-based ingredients over the past decade. Bioactive ingredients derived from natural sources, such as conditioning polymers, surfactants and emulsifiers, are gaining traction due to their benefits and rising consumer awareness regarding the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals.

While the market faces challenges such as the high cost of bio-based cosmetic products, opportunities remain abundant, with surging demand coupled with investments in research and development expected to drive market expansion. PBHJ.
