Summary of the Report

Global cosmetic chemicals market was worth USD 19.9 billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 4.8%) between 2020 and 2027. Organic grade cosmetic chemicals are in high demand due to rising demand for natural cosmetics and consumer willingness to pay more for premium products.

Preservatives and thickeners are some of the most commonly used ingredients in cosmetics. They can be made synthetically or natural. You can also make synthetic chemicals from petroleum and bio-based ingredients. These chemicals, however, are made using complex production processes and derived catalysts and reagents . They are therefore called synthetic. Natural products can be plant, animal, or microbial.

Continuous research and development activities are key to the industry's success. The market players want sustainable formulations that are made with natural ingredients and free from artificial additives. Elevance Renewable Sciences, Inc., is a specialty chemical manufacturer that develops and markets emollients using its patent technology from plant-based products. These products can be used in skin lotions, cosmetics, or hair styling products.

In the future, technological advancements in cosmetic ingredient manufacturing are expected to cause a disruption to the cosmetic chemicals market. Givaudan, for example, uses plant cell culture and phytopeptides technology in order to create skin products. The market for cosmetic chemicals will be driven by the industry's ongoing R&D activities to create sustainable products that satisfy consumer demand.

Product Type Insights

In 2019, the emollients & moisturizer segment had a revenue share of around 30.0% and was the largest segment in the market. Emollients protect the skin from water loss and soften it. Emollients are found in many personal care and cosmetics products, including skin moisturizers, body lotions, and lipsticks. These emollients can be purchased in both synthetic and natural forms. Olive oil, coconut oil beeswax and lanolin are some of the most popular emollients.

Cosmetics products are made up a large part of preservatives. They are added to the formulations to prolong their shelf life and to prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi. These microorganisms can quickly ruin products and cause damage to applications. Preservatives that are water-soluble should be used as microbes live in water.

Cosmetic preservatives can come in different forms and amounts. Depending on the need of the product, the preservatives used can range from 0.01% to 5.0%. Some of the commonly used preservatives include formaldehyde, parabens, salicylic acid, benzyl alcohol, and tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA).

Application Insights

In 2019, the skin care products segment accounted for 35.0% of revenue and was the largest end-use segment in 2019. This is due to the increasing demand for skin products by people, who have more concerns about skin health and care. The market for cosmetic chemicals will benefit from the rising demand for sunscreens, face creams and body lotions around the world.

The development of skin care products that meet the needs of consumers is the focus for key players in the cosmetic chemicals industry. The market for cosmetic chemicals is also being driven by a shift in consumer preference to natural and organically derived products with natural ingredients. COBIOSA, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, develops and distributes skin care products and other cosmetic products. The company primarily develops its chemicals from botanical including polyphenols,camelina, and marine, such as algae, collagen as well as insects.

Many cosmetics and personal care product companies, including Eminence (L'Oreal) and L'Oreal, are now producing natural-derived skin care products. Market growth will be aided by the ability of natural ingredients, which can enhance and improve skin health without side effects, in the next few years.

The main factors driving hair care products sales are growing concerns about grey hair and hair loss, as well as evolving styling trends in fashion. Hair fall, discoloration, and dandruff are all a result of increasing stress levels and pollution among youth and middle-aged people. These factors are expected to increase hair care product consumption among them. These factors will be a major contributor to the growth of the cosmetic chemicals market over the forecast period.

Customers can spend more on luxury products such as perfumes because of their increasing disposable income. Due to rising living standards, the hygiene products market is expected to grow over the forecast period. The key trend driving consumer awareness and product demand growth is the increased spending of cosmetics product manufacturers on marketing and commercialization.

Regional Insights

This is what drives the demand in the region. The key drivers of the regional market for cosmetic chemicals are increasing R&D investment by manufacturers and associated technological innovations in areas such as ingredient processing and cost-effective manufacturing of organic personal care products. This trend is expected to continue for the forecast period.
