Industry Insights

The global pore strips market was valued at USD 2.48 million, in 2018. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast duration, 2019 to 2025. The rise in the number of skin-related issues and increasing awareness among consumers about the importance of healthy skin are key factors driving the growth of the market.

Further, the rising demand for cosmetics from both males and females is expected to positively affect market growth. Owing to changing lifestyles, consumers are reluctant to invest their time in costly skin treatment in beauty salons. Pore strips provide a cost-effective solution thus, attract a large number of beauty-conscious consumers. Increasing air pollution levels is further likely to boost the demand for the product.

Various other facial creams and face washes are not effective for quick results. This has led to a rise in demand for pore strips as it exfoliates the skin quickly. Further, it helps in removing blackheads and oils from the skin thus, making the skin smooth. These benefits offered by the product are likely to boost its demand throughout the forecast duration.

However, the presence of adhesives in pore strips has a negative impact on skin health. This product may result in causing irritation and a red scar on the skin. As skin experts suggest, strips are highly likely to cause irritation or red mark on the skin even if one removes it with care. They often damage the first layer of the skin. Thus, regular use of this product may damage the skin significantly. All these aforementioned factors are projected to hinder market growth. In spite of the side effects associated with this product, the growing focus of young consumers on personal care and changing fashion trends are expected to proliferate the market growth.
