Consumer behaviour has shifted from offline to online shopping as a result of COVID-19. Online cosmetic retailers have successfully attracted a variety of new consumers with their behavioural retargeting strategies. Customers are reluctant to visit cosmetic establishments and request a free sample during the post-pandemic period. Because of this, people believe it is secure to buy skincare and hair care items online. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, certain cosmetics merchants were forced to down their storefronts sooner than planned in 2020. As a result, they created online features to replicate the in-store experience and make customers feel more secure when purchasing products online. Interactive product-matching tools, augmented reality, online tests, and virtual consultations are a few of these characteristics.
Natural: Throughout the projected period, this market segment is anticipated to develop the fastest. Natural products come only from natural sources and include things like turmeric, green tea, and extracts of rosemary. The increasing worry over synthetic products and the growing preference for natural products are the key drivers of this segment's growth.
Synthetic: The majority of the market share belongs to this sector. Petroleum-based products are a source of synthetic antioxidants. Among the synthetic antioxidants are tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), niacinamide, and propyl gallate (PG).
