Skin Care Market Trends



  • Growing ethical cosmetics shopping trend is driving the market growth


Consumers today purchase goods packaged with green labels and made of materials supplied ethically to prevent health issues caused by artificially created cosmetics. The region's market CAGR is growing more quickly due to rising consumer demand for natural and organic personal care products created with botanical extracts and sustainable ingredients in Europe. According to poll results released by the International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association, 20% of German consumers in 2021 said they would rather purchase makeup from companies with a natural aesthetic. In France, the number is a little bit higher (24%). The European market is expanding as a result of growing demand from European men for face wash, cleansers, moisturizers, creams, sunscreens, and shaving products for daily personal hygiene needs.


Furthermore, utilizing clean, microbiome skin nourishing goods to cure oily skin issues is becoming more and more popular among European men, which is driving the expansion of the oily skin condition market in that region. The market for sun protection products has grown as people's awareness of the damaging effects of UV radiation has grown in Europe. An integral part of skincare regimens are sunscreen and sun care products. Spending on skincare products has increased as a result of improving economic conditions and growing disposable income in some European countries. When it comes to high-end, premium skincare products, consumers are willing to spend money. More and more customers are looking for individualized skincare products that address their unique skin types and issues. Customization choices and tailored suggestions could give brands an advantage over competitors.

Skin Care Country Insights


The market is expanding more quickly in Germany because of rising customer demand for skin nourishment products with novel formulations. Furthermore, producers concentrate on providing environmentally friendly cosmetics to help their customers' everyday skincare regimens, which will help the German makeup industry grow in the future. Because premium components are used in the production of organic skin nutrition products, the end cost is higher. Moreover, because they are made entirely of plant-based raw ingredients, organic cosmetics have a shorter shelf life than synthetic ones. Influencers are important in spreading the word about skincare products. Examples of these influencers are health professionals and beauty bloggers. Influencer recommendations and reviews have the power to affect what customers decide to buy. The importance of general health and wellness is rising, and this includes skincare. Customers are looking for goods that offer health benefits beyond aesthetic enhancements, as well as those made with natural and organic ingredients.
