Description

The cosmetic packaging market was valued at USD 26.2 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 32.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period of 2021-2027. In recent years, the cosmetics industry's packaging has advanced by leaps and bounds. The cosmetics industry has the most diverse packaging needs of any other industry. The materials used range from various metals to paper, plastics, and glass and create containers of various shapes and sizes and dispensing systems.

Plastic is one of the most common packaging materials used in the cosmetic business. It comes in primary containers, secondary flexible pouches, caps and closures, and the nozzle. Because it can retain liquid-solid and semisolid materials and distribute products in regulated amounts, the plastic tube is one of the most important containers in the beauty business. When compared to other containers tubes, they can also provide greater contamination prevention.

Because of the high demand for personalized beauty products, the requirement for effective packaging has expanded dramatically. Furthermore, increased consumer awareness of personal grooming boosts demand for cosmetic items, propelling the market under investigation. Face serums and oils have grown in popularity over the last five years because they provide moisturization, hydration, anti-aging, skin restoration, and blemish removal, among other advantages. These high-end items have been in high demand among the elderly. Dropper and push pump bottles have grown in popularity as a result of their growing demand.

Global Cosmetic Packaging Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increasing Consumption of Cosmetic Products

The market under investigation is largely reliant on the global cosmetics market and is susceptible to comparable trends. The need for packaging is predicted to rise as the demand for cosmetics grows. Factors such as increasing demand for cosmetics in emerging markets, increasing consumer awareness, changing consumption patterns and lifestyles, placing a higher value on personal grooming, and rising consumer awareness of beauty products drive investments in companies that develop innovative packaging solutions.

Further, the rise in sales of cosmetic products due to the growth of e-commerce has also significantly contributed to the market. Online shopping has simplified the shopping experience for consumers, and beauty products constitute a significant share in the demand.

Restraints: Growing Sustainability Concerns

Plastic occupies a significant share in cosmetic packaging and accounts for almost 50% share when it comes to materials used to package cosmetic products. This has become a grave concern due to the plastic containers being non-bio-degradable.

Netherland-based Life Cycle Assessment agency LCA has predicted that almost 120 billion containers are used in packaging cosmetics and directly turn in the landfills. Companies have recently faced severe backlash due to the usage of excessive packaging. Companies like DoTerra and Sulpac have committed to using sustainable packaging solutions for their cosmetic products. The market is also seeing new sustainable solutions in the market. Tom's of Maine in February launched their recyclable toothpaste tube, while Quadpack also introduced their micro plastic-free packaging solutions.
