The global skincare market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.95% to reach a market size of US$310.920 billion in 2027 from US$194.300 billion in 2020.

The global skincare product market is driven by the increasing demand for sun creams, body lotions, face moisturizers, and other skincare products. The demand is increasing due to the rise in disposable income, urbanization in developing countries, changing lifestyles, and advanced skincare products. Skincare products are used for both beauty enhancement and as medicine for skin-related problems.

The market is expected to expand significantly as consumers become more conscious of their appearance and skin quality.  People are more sensitive towards using any kind of skincare product, making them choose more accurately what is most suitable for them. The rise in global warming and climate change has increased the use of skin care products due to increasing harsh sunlight and dusty & dry weather, which causes the skin to turn dark, dry, and crack. The increasing pollution levels in cities due to the rising number of industries are also causing harmful effects on the skin, encouraging people to use more skincare products for protection. Thus, the rising awareness regarding the harmful effects of harsh weather conditions coupled with the growing knowledge about different chemicals and compounds to treat certain skin-related problems is significantly fueling the market growth of skincare globally. The rising urbanization in developing countries like India and China is leading to a surge in people’s purchasing power, giving them the liberty to buy what they desire. The government in many countries has banned the use of animals for testing and the use of animal ingredients in personal care and skin care products. This has negatively affected small and medium-scale enterprises, thereby hindering the global skincare market’s growth to some extent.

The global skincare market is segmented by product, distribution channel, and geography. The market segmentation based on products is done as face products and body products. The global skincare market is further segmented by distribution channels into offline and online.

Rising pollution is increasing the demand for skin care products

The shift in consumer preferences to natural and organic skincare products is creating new opportunities for companies to expand their market share, thus positively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.

Internet and smartphone penetration has increased the online skincare product sales

The growing use of the internet and smartphones is increasing the skin care product market. The increasing penetration of the internet has given rise to a new platform for companies to sell their products. According to World Bank data, the number of people using the internet has grown two-fold in a decade. The increase in the internet user population will further grow the market for skincare products as more companies will sell their products online due to the increase in convenience and low investment. This has also helped companies to provide a variety of products to consumer groups in a particular region or country. The skin care market does have a significant share in the offline segment as well. A lot of people still prefer to buy from physical stores due to more trust. There are still many people who don’t have internet access or don’t buy online because they don’t trust such platforms. As such, the physical market won’t be eliminated with the growth of the online sector.

By geography, North America has a significant share of the market

The growing demand for premium perfumes in the region to further expands the deodorants and fragrances market.

The rising cosmetics and personal care companies in the Asia Pacific region are expected to further grow the market.
