Market CAGR for lip gloss is driven by rising social media and celebrity endorsements. Social media and celebrity endorsements have positively affected the lip gloss market. Influencers and celebrities frequently endorse particular lip gloss brands, and customers are more likely to buy products endorsed by their favorite media figures. In addition, social media platforms have enabled consumers to share their lip gloss preferences and connect with other lip gloss enthusiasts.
Furthermore, rising awareness concerning individual makeup and appearance among youthful female purchasers worldwide is anticipated to be one of the key drivers. Besides, expanding the buying power of the female population because of the rising ladies' workforce is required to fuel the item's interest sooner rather than later. Rising well-being awareness among the purchasers and mindfulness about the advantages of natural makeup is boosting the interest in regular and natural lip shading items. More concentration of anti-oxidants in normal and natural items helps in fixing the damage to skin cells. This useful component is required to incite the item's utilization soon.
The introduction of novel lip gloss formulations and packaging designs is another factor that has positively affected the lip gloss market. To accommodate a variety of consumer preferences, manufacturers are developing formulations with longer-lasting wear, moisturizing properties, and customizable coatings. Similarly, innovative packaging designs and artist collaborations have helped manufacturers captivate consumer attention and stand out in a competitive marketplace.
Additionally, the lip gloss market is recording growing preference toward the use of customized lip gloss and is witnessing high demand in the market. It includes an innovative personalized lip gloss applicator supported by 3D printing technology.

The lip gloss market segmentation, based on type, includes glossy, matte, glitter, and others. The matte segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (1.28 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven by an increasing number of recent product launches by prominent players to capture a huge consumer base. Matte lip gloss have a more robust and long-lasting composition, making them a popular option for women who do not want to reapply lip gloss frequently. However, glossy is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period owing to the various advantage of lip gloss, such as a glossier finish and thicker texture than lipsticks.
The lip gloss market segmentation, based on category, includes conventional and organic & natural. The conventional category generated the most income (70.4%) owing to the easy availability of lip gloss at economical prices enhanced the adoption of conventional lip gloss. However, organic & natural is the fastest-growing category due to rising consumer preference for vegan and natural ingredients in lip care products.
The lip gloss market segmentation, based on distribution channel, includes store-based {supermarkets & hypermarkets, convenience stores, specialty stores, and others} and non-store-based. The store-based category generated the most income over the forecast period. These shops provide considerable benefits to customers, such as cheap product pricing and increased awareness of national and international brands, making them an ideal venue for all client categories. However, due to well-known e-commerce behemoths like Amazon, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora, Kinship, Inc., and Walmart being the top online sellers of lip gloss items, the non-store-based sector is the one that is expanding the quickest.
