Beauty and Personal Care Products Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The beauty and personal care products market was valued at USD 434.85 billion in 2020, and it is projected to register a CAGR of 4.35% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.​

A major issue faced by the manufacturers during the COVID-19 situation was the disrupted supply chains, especially for cosmetics, for during the lockdown, countries closed their borders or raised trade barriers. As a result, manufacturers and exporters were facing high competition to export their goods. Furthermore, the on-premise sales through supermarkets and convenience stores witnessed a decline due to the subsequent lockdowns and the closure of retail stores, as individuals have been practicing social distancing measures and avoiding gatherings and outings. However, the sales through online retail channels majorly supported the market penetration.

The improving quality of life, the positive effects of beauty and personal care on self-esteem and social interaction, and the gradual consumer shift toward premium and luxury cosmetic brands are a few factors that are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period.

The increasing dental problems among children and adults due to poor eating habits and the rise in the popularity of herbal oral care products drive the oral care products market globally. Moreover, the rising premiumization and the consumers’ need for more targeted solutions are accelerating the market's growth. The rise in oral health-consciousness helped vendors introduce oral hygiene product categories, such as teeth-whitening products.

With the growing demand for organic ingredients, consumers across the world are inclined toward organic personal care products, which is expected to drive market growth during the study period. Furthermore, the rising awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals and synthetic products is another factor augmenting the growth of the market. Most of the consumers tend to buy products with natural or organic labeling, which is driving the market growth.
