MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The increasing global concern for skin health is the principal factor that is fueling the market of skin care products. People are more and more aware of the skin conditions caused by pollution, UV exposure, and bad lifestyle. As a result, they are asking for preventive and restorative skin care treatments more and more. For example, a 2024 industry poll suggests that 46% of US women and 18% of US men see wrinkles as a skin problem, resulting in the daily use of effective skin care products. Thus, the market is witnessing steady growth due to this increased awareness.

Moreover, Changing lifestyles and urbanization are altering the demand for skin care products. The urban population is currently around 56.9% of the total world population living in cities and is projected to reach 68% by 2050. Urban factors like stress, pollution, and unhealthy habits lead to issues like skin dryness, early aging, and damage from environmental pollution. To meet these needs, companies like Unilever have developed new products such as resin-based film formers to fight off pollution-induced damages, thus paving the way for the market to grow further.

Social media and beauty bloggers have played a significant role in pushing the personalized and multi-step skincare routines trend. There are more than 5.07 billion social media users globally, and 259 million of them have just signed up in the last year, which indicates that the consumers are becoming more and more open to specific ingredients and are ready to spend money on products made for them. A good example of this trend is the merger between the personalized skincare brand Atolla and Function of Beauty. This personalization trend is enlarging the market and enabling the growth to be along the same line as before.
