Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising e-commerce sales for personal care products

One of the main factors boosting the growth of the personal care chemicals market is the increase in e-commerce sales of personal care products. Because there are fewer overhead expenses when products are sold through online platforms rather than physical stores, the prices offered to customers are frequently lower on e-commerce platforms. Additionally, a large number of national and international vendors are promoting and strengthening their brands by selling personal care products on e-retail websites. These elements are fueling the expansion of the market for personal care chemicals.

Restraint:

Stringent government regulations

Despite the predicted trajectory, strict government regulations impede market growth. Certain government restrictions on the sale of some chemicals may exist. A clear definitional standard will eventually need to be imposed by either the FDA or the industry due to significant regulatory implications. In 2004 and 2009, the EU outlawed the use of animals in the production of cosmetics and their ingredients. Microplastics have been outlawed in cosmetics and personal care products in a number of European nations, including the UK, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Luxembourg.

Opportunity:

Increase in the demand for male personal care products

Personal care products are among the well-liked goods in the lucrative market for male grooming products. Men are using more and more male grooming products as part of their daily grooming routine, which has increased their popularity. Innovative personal care products geared toward male consumers are the main focus of brands. Gender-specific products have been encouraged to be introduced by personal care product manufacturers as a way to differentiate their brands from competitors and to meet the growing and swift changes in consumer demand. During the forecast period, these initiatives will fuel the growth of the personal care chemicals market.

Threat:

Environment-related issues

A growing need for more eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives is being driven by growing awareness of the effects certain chemicals used in personal care products have on the environment. The use of conventional personal care chemicals may decrease during the forecast period as a result of this shift toward natural and eco-friendly ingredients. Additionally, consumers' price sensitivity and the highly competitive nature of the personal care sector may put pressure on costs and prices.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 outbreak led to global lockdowns halts in production, labor shortages, and disruptions in supply chains, all of which had a negative effect on the market for dyes and pigments. The market's growth trajectory was likely restored in 2021 as circumstances started to improve, which prompted vendors to reopen their factories and warehouses. During the forecast period, these factors will fuel the growth of the local personal care chemicals market.

The skin care segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Global market share is expected to be dominated by the skin care segment during the forecast period. The key factors driving the global market for skin care products are the desire for a more comfortable lifestyle, the rise in the number of young people, and the increasing purchasing power of urban households. People are starting to use skin care earlier in life in order to prevent the aging process as a result of increased self-awareness. These and other favorable factors are likely to fuel the personal care chemical market and, consequently, the market for skin care products over the ensuing few years.

The organic segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the market for organic personal care chemicals will expand significantly. These products frequently have plant-based components like roots, essential oils, herbs, and flowers. A few organic components, including minerals and beeswax, come from animals as well. Several naturally occurring carrier agents, preservatives, humectants, emulsifiers, and surfactants are added to them after extraction. Moreover, organic products are not made with chemicals, in contrast to synthetically made chemicals.

Region with largest share:

The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to witness the largest market share in the estimated timeframe. With growing shelf space in retail stores and boutiques in India, the personal care chemicals market in China and India is estimated to expand steadily. The demand for personal care chemicals is expected to rise as the economy in India improves and the population's purchasing power increases. In addition, the market is anticipated to benefit from the growing adoption of men's grooming products in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, Europe is expected to experience lucrative growth. Due to rising interest in personal care and wellness among consumers, strengthening distribution channels, and increased demand among both the male and female populations for skin that looks younger. Moreover, with rising demand for anti-aging and men's grooming products, Germany is the European nation that generates the most revenue. Additionally, the varying climatic conditions, changing lifestyles, and rising demand for skincare products, along with consumers' growing desire for environmentally and animal-friendly products, will all contribute to the personal care market's expansion during the forecast period.
