Global Skin Care Products Market size is expected to reach USD 177.15 billion by 2024. Skincare products, as the name suggests, prevent early aging, pimples & black patches, and enhance beauty. The growing demand for natural skincare products, coupled with the increasing emphasis on personal health, is the main factor driving the growth of the market in the years to come. Governments’ stringent regulations promoting the use of organic materials in the skincare industry are expected to boost the market growth in the next couple of years. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% in the upcoming period.

In the market, various skincare products are available such as face cream and body lotion. The “face cream” segment includes skin brightening cream, sun protection cream, anti-aging cream, and others. The “face cream” segment held the largest market share in 2015 and is expected to grow at a high CAGR in the upcoming period. The increasing importance of natural ingredients for improving skin quality, avoiding dryness, and hydrating the skin is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

The other factors that play an important role in the growth of the skincare products market include increasing urbanization & industrialization, changing lifestyles in developing countries, rising awareness about the advantages of advanced skincare products, and high investments in emerging countries.

However, the limited shelf life of skincare products, the presence of pseudo-natural ingredients in these products, and the high cost of organic & natural ingredients used in these products are negatively impacting the growth of the skincare products industry.

The market is widely analyzed based on different regional factors such as gross domestic product (GDP), demographics, acceptance, inflation rate, and others. The market is categorized based on product, and geography.

The Asia Pacific held the largest market share in 2015 and is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the forthcoming years due to increasing demand for skincare products from developing countries such as India and China. On the other hand, North America and Europe are expected to hold the highest market share in the next couple of years. Increasing R&D investments coupled with associated technological innovations in the processing and cost-effective production of skin products are expected to increase the product demand during the forecast period.
