Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global cosmeceuticals market size was valued at USD 50.75 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 54.57 billion in 2022 to USD 96.23 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -9.3% in 2020 compared to 2019. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.


Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic formulations containing bioactive ingredients known for their medical benefits. The increase in prevalence of skin disorders around the world and the inclination of dermatologists toward prescribing these products as compared to other modes of treatment are responsible for the rising demand for these products. This, along with key market players launching e-commerce platforms to cater to the rising demand for these products, is anticipated to support the cosmeceuticals market growth.


According to a report published by the MDPI in 2022, cosmeceutical prescriptions accounted for 40% of the total dermatologic prescriptions globally. The significant share of these prescriptions coupled with an increasing number of market players providing key products for these conditions is expected to drive the market growth.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Reduced Patient Visits Associated with Dermatology to Hamper Demand During COVID-19 Pandemic


The emergence of COVID-19 significantly impeded the demand for cosmeceuticals across the world. A significant decline in the number of patient visits reported by leading dermatologists and the shutting down of stores engaged in the distribution of these products during the lockdown period are some of the key reasons affecting the market adversely. Moreover, cancellation of elective procedures, including medical aesthetic procedures to avoid the spread of COVID-19 reduced patient footfalls at specialty clinics engaged in aesthetic therapy. The decline in these procedures resulted in lower patient prescriptions for these products, adversely affecting the market.


Leading players operating in the market reported a decline in their revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in revenues was attributed to limited distribution of these products during the lockdown period.



  • For instance, Shiseido Company Limited 2020 reported a decline of 17.0% in revenue as compared to the previous financial year. Moreover, according to a Beiersdorf report in 2020, there was a decline of 7.5% compared to the previous financial year. The decline was major during the financial year due to the emergency protocols for the closure of customer facilities along with considerable disruption in business activities.


Furthermore, the key players operating in the market faced a number of challenges such as disruptions in the procurement of active ingredients and product suppliers. However, patient volumes increased as the regulations imposed by various governments were relaxed. In 2021, the patient volume bounced back, owing to higher vaccination coverage among the general population, implementation of strong guidelines and COVID-19 protocols in public places, dismissal of restrictions for travel, and others. This led to an increase in demand for skin and hair care products in 2021.



  • For instance, Shiseido Company Limited reported a recovery of 9.4% in revenue as compared to the previous financial year. Moreover, Beiersdorf reported a decline of 11.5% as compared to the previous financial year.


The overall recovery of the market was an estimated 12.0%, with leading market players generating positive/significant growth post-pandemic, owing to an increase in patient volume along with rising demand for these products.

Increasing Preference of General Population Toward Natural Products to Boost Demand for Cosmeceuticals


Increasing awareness about the benefits of natural ingredients over traditional products, including lesser side effects such as cracking of the skin and hair fall. Initiatives by major market players to improve awareness of organic products through various brand campaigns along with the increasing preference of dermatologists to prescribe natural alternatives such as organic products for skin and hair care are expected to augment the growth of the market. Additionally, the major players operating in the market are involved in the development of e-commerce platforms, such as Direct to Consumer (DTC) distribution channels, to cater to the rising demand, which is expected to support the growth of organic products.



  • For instance, In September 2021, Boddess announced the launch of Juice Beauty, a plant-based line of cosmeceutical products to cater to the increasing demand for organic products.


Such active initiatives taken by key players operating in this industry are anticipated to support the growth of the market


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Awareness of Cosmeceuticals along with Introduction of Advanced Products to Augment Market Growth


Strong emphasis on initiatives by government agencies and market players toward increasing the awareness of skin and hair health among the general population has led to a higher number of people using these products globally. Moreover, the development of active ingredients by market players is one of the key factors driving the adoption of these products in emerging and established economies.


For instance, in the American Academy of Dermatology in 2021, various dedicated campaigns are focused on skin and hair health among general well-being. Some examples include the month of May as the awareness month of skin cancer, the harm caused by UV rays to the skin along with highlighting the significance of sun protection through the use of sunscreens products.


The increasing prevalence of skin disorders among adults and children alike is responsible for the increased demand for skincare products. This, along with the increased adoption of organic products globally, has encouraged various market players to develop novel formulations with a focus on developing active ingredients such as plant-based alternatives. The rise in product development, along with an upsurge of key product launches, is responsible for driving the market growth.


For instance, in August 2021, Gragem Co., Ltd. in collaboration with the University of Suwon developed sulforaphane, a new active ingredient as a novel alternative for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. The development is aimed at incorporating and developing novel product launches in the field of hair care products. The key product launches supported by rising demand for skin and hair products are anticipated to augment the market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost of Branded Products to Affect Demand for Cosmeceuticals


The demand for cosmeceutical products is growing globally due to the rising prevalence of skin and hair disorders, increasing elderly population, and increasing awareness of dermatological treatment. The high cost of branded cosmeceuticals retailed by major market players is anticipated to limit the growth of the market. The increasing number of key companies positioning themselves as luxury brands in this industry, high recovery costs of products owing to expenditure on research and development of novel products, and brand campaigns are responsible for the high cost incurred to the end consumer.



  • For instance, in February 2022, L’Oreal Professional Products announced the launch of its new Hair the Love 2022 campaign, which aims at promoting its leading line of hair care products by appealing to hairdressers along with a view to improving the distribution of their products through leading hairdresser chains in the hair care market.


The availability of low-quality substitutes due to lack of stringent regulation is a major restraining factor for the market growth. Additionally, lack of insurance reimbursement for these products is hampering the demand for these products in developing countries during the forecast period.
