CHICAGO, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The latest market research conducted by Arizton reveals that the active cosmetics market is poised for remarkable growth, with a projected CAGR of 12.6% from 2021 to 2027. This surge in demand for skin care and hair care products is largely driven by increasing awareness and mainstream acceptance of personal care and skin concerns among consumers. The cosmetics industry has rapidly embraced nanotechnology, drawing inspiration from its earlier ventures into biotechnology and bioscience. A variety of nano-based products have emerged, leveraging diverse nanomaterials to tackle common cosmetic challenges, including enhanced ingredient penetration, improved ingredient stability, controlled release of active components, and acting as effective active agents themselves. However, the integration of plant-active ingredients in functional cosmetics is often complicated by issues such as poor solubility, stability concerns, low permeability through the skin, and potential skin irritation, which can hinder their efficacy. Fortunately, nanocarrier technology is set to address these limitations, allowing for a broader application of plant-active ingredients in active cosmetics.

The Growing Influence of Halal Cosmetics on Market Trends

In several Asian and Middle Eastern nations, the shift toward halal cosmetics is becoming a regulatory standard. For example, Indonesia has mandated that only halal-certified products will be available in its market, with a deadline set for October 2026. This initiative positions Indonesia as a significant contender in the halal cosmetics sector, which is projected to enhance the integration of active ingredients within halal-compliant products.

Additionally, DSM, a globally recognized science-driven organization, offers a wide range of products within its nutrition, health, and bioscience portfolio. They specialize in fully traceable vegan ingredients that include a variety of skin actives, vitamins, ultraviolet (UV) filters, and performance-enhancing ingredients tailored for diverse personal care applications. Their ingredients, such as PENTAVITIN, STIMU-TEX AS, PEPHA AGE, and ALP-SERUM, are particularly appealing to brands aiming to expand their offerings to the halal market in Asia. The increasing demand for halal cosmetics arises from a growing awareness of non-halal ingredients in many popular cosmetic brands.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically shifted consumer behavior towards online shopping, transforming the landscape of the cosmetics distribution channels. Before the pandemic, online sales constituted less than 10% of global distribution. Consumers predominantly preferred purchasing cosmetics from trusted drug stores and pharmacies. Furthermore, the cost of shipping a single product often inflated the total expense, discouraging online purchases. However, Shiseido reported that e-commerce platforms accounted for over 40% of its sales in the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa in 2021, showcasing a significant shift. The company also expanded its e-commerce presence across Asia during the pandemic. Recent trends indicate a slight increase in online penetration, with projections suggesting that the online share will rise to approximately 47% in the U.S. by 2023.

There is a pronounced focus on innovating active cosmetics in formats like powders and bars. L’Oréal stands out for its commitment to developing dermo-cosmetics and is recognized as a frontrunner in this segment. Various companies are pursuing inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions to bolster their portfolios in active cosmetics. As the demand for halal cosmetics escalates in Middle Eastern and developed countries, many firms are concentrating on creating active cosmetics infused with plant-derived ingredients. The trend of increasing halal certifications is also observable among numerous companies operating in the Middle East, APAC, North America, and Europe. The competitive landscape is intense, with established vendors and emerging players vying for market share. To thrive, vendors are engaging in strategic partnerships and acquisitions while heavily investing in research and development. These partnerships and acquisitions are critical strategies for leading players to expand their product lines and enhance their market presence.
