Rising Demand for Anti-Aging &
Skincare Cosmeceuticals to Drive the Global Cosmetic Chemicals Market,
According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global
report on Cosmetic Chemicals. The
global market for Cosmetic Chemicals is projected to reach US$30 billion by
2020, driven by the growing demand for anti-aging and general skincare cosmeceutical
products.
Cosmetics, defined as chemical preparations for
enhancing the appearance of the skin and body, are witnessing heathy growth worldwide.
Manufactured using a wide variety of therapeutic agents to achieve the desired product
properties and outcome, cosmetics are important lifestyle products in a society
obsessed with physical beauty, youth, and achievement. Demand for cosmetic chemicals
is largely reliant on the production and sales of cosmetics. Growth in the
market is driven by increased consumer spending on cosmetics and toiletries and
rapidly aging population with a strong emphasis on appearance maintenance. Especially
poised to grow in demand are active chemical ingredients that slow down the
aging process. Cosmetic products for male grooming, skin whitening, facial care
and sun care are also recording strong growth, globally.
Also driving growth in the market is the rising demand
for natural and organic cosmetics, which despite their higher cost compared to
synthetic materials, are finding favor among health and environment conscious consumers.
Future growth in the cosmetic chemicals market will be fuelled by the
continuous development of novel and potent anti-aging, sun protection, and hair
care products. The trend towards natural products will help drive demand for natural
and active cosmetic ingredients such as, botanical extracts, enzymes and amino
acids. Botanical extracts, in particular, are expected to benefit from their
favorable perception as a natural and healthy option compared to conventional
cosmetic chemicals such as commodity surfactants and petroleum oils. The adoption
of nanotechnology in the cosmetics industry will additionally spur the
development of mineral-based cosmetic chemicals with nano-sized dimensions. Skincare
cosmeceuticals, such as, sunscreens and face creams, offer lucrative opportunities
for the application of nano-sized chemicals in the cosmeceutical industry.
As stated by the new market research report on Cosmetic
Chemicals, the United States represents the single largest market worldwide,
supported by high per capita spending on organic and natural cosmetics.
Developing
markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America are expected to fuel future
growth in the market, led by a rapidly expanding base of affluent middle class
population, rising standards of living, robust demand for skin lightening and whitening
agents and chemicals, and globalization of cosmetic brands. Specialty Additives,
including Active Ingredients, Colorants, Conditioning Agents, and
Preservatives, represents the leading market segment. Emollients &
Moisturizers, ranks as the fastest growing product market, driven by developments
in natural and organic personal care products. In recent years, natural
emollients have been finding favor among manufacturers over other animal-based
and synthetic ingredients.
