• INCREASING CONSUMER SPENDING ON COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

Cosmetics and personal care are one of the fastest-growing consumer product industries across the globe. In the recent past, the per capita spending on cosmetics & personal care products has increased at a significant rate due to the growing appearance consciousness among the consumers, particularly the young population, coupled with rising per capita disposable income. The high adoption of smartphones and easy access to the internet has further increased spending on personal care products through web portals. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian personal care and grooming market is expected to reach USD 20 billion by 2028 owing to rapid urbanization, a rise in per capita disposable income, and changing lifestyles. Also, according to a survey in 2020, the average annual expenditure on cosmetics amounted to approximately USD 190 per consumer in the US. The consumption pattern among the young population has changed with an aspiration to look good, which is expected to drive personal care products and, consequently, cosmetic products. Moreover, the growing youth population, increasing adoption of social media platforms, the launch of innovative products, and easy availability of products across the globe are also expected to support the growth of the global cosmetics market.

• SIDE-EFFECTS OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS

There are harmful ingredients or chemicals present in professional and over-the-counter products that include resorcinol, ethanolamine (MEA), ammonia, persulfates, parabens, propylene glycol, and metals such as nickel. Some of these ingredients or chemicals can cause serious problems. For instance, resorcinol irritates the skin and interferes with normal hormone production. Propylene glycol is also known to cause dermatitis. Also, hair color consists of dyes, modifiers, antioxidants, and fragrances, in addition to a variety of chemicals existing in slight proportions that impart a specific quality to the hair, such as softening it. Many of the chemicals used in hair color might prove toxic to the end user leading to irritation or allergic reactions. Also, there are other damaging chemicals present in hair dye that can cause side effects, such as light tingling, itching and burning, allergic reactions, and blistering and rashes. Thus, the side effects and allergic reactions caused by some of the chemicals used in cosmetics are likely to hamper the growth of the global cosmetics market during the forecast period. Moreover, many eye-makeup products are found to contain harmful chemicals that can gradually hamper vision. The increasing adoption of chemical-free products is found to restrain the growth of the conventional eye-makeup products market. Coal tar dyes used in eye-makeup products are carcinogenic. Benzalkonium chloride is another chemical widely used in eye-makeup products that causes eye irritations. Increasing awareness of harmful ingredients present in cosmetics might restrict market growth. The adoption of organic and natural cosmetics will result in narrowing down the scope of the cosmetics market. Additionally, minimal makeup or nude makeup trends have encouraged consumers to adopt a makeup-free lifestyle due to which the cosmetics market is experiencing a slight downfall..
