Skin Care Products Market Overview
The skin care products market is projected to grow significantly in the coming years as the demand for herbal and organic cosmetics as well as skin care products is increasing across the globe. People are inclining towards the use of products that do not contain chemicals in order to prevent the risk of allergies and skin disorders in the long run. Skin care products include a variety of creams, for instance, sunscreens, anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle creams, acne marks removal creams and others. These might be medicated or non-medicated and include natural ingredients such as neem, xanthan gum and fish oil.
Market Size and Forecast
The skin care products market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 5.5% over the forecast period, i.e., 2019-2027. The market is segmented by product, by application, by distribution channel and by region, out of which, the product segment is further segmented into cleansers, exfoliators, face masks, body lotions, moisturizers, sunscreens, anti-ageing creams and others. The anti-ageing creams segment is estimated to grow as a result of growing ageing population and the anti-wrinkle and sun protection properties of the creams. On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into face and body, out of which, the face segment is predicted to observe the highest market growth. This can be attributed to a larger demand for skin care products for face as compared to the body care products. Based on distribution channel, the market is segmented into supermarkets, general stores, pharmacies, online stores and others. The online stores segment is estimated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period on account of rising preference of people for buying products online rather than from the stores.
Growth Drivers
Innovations in Skin Care Products to Boost the Market Growth
The growing demand for skin care products among both men and women is estimated to result in various innovations in order to create better and more effective products. There is a high demand for products that are ammonia, sulphur and parabens-free, which is further estimated to contribute towards the market growth over the forecast period.
Rising Awareness about Chemical-Free Products to Propel the Market Growth
The growing awareness among people about the benefits of using natural and organic products over chemicals-containing products is predicted to raise the demand for natural skin care products. For instance, the increasing awareness about the harmful effects of the UV rays and the need for protection from it is leading to the development of sunscreens and anti-tan creams with higher SPF, which is anticipated to be a growth driving factor for the skin care products market. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the exposure to UV rays increases the risk for melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. It occurs among people between the ages 15 and 29. It accounts for around 3% of all cancer cases and over 75% of deaths by skin cancer.
Restraints
High Costs of Skin Care Products to Hamper the Market Growth
The competition in skin care products market and the rising costs of products as a result of this is estimated to restrain the market growth in the coming years. The cost of organic and good quality products is high which is predicted to lead to a decreased customer base and therefore limit the market growth further.
