Historic Market Outlook for ASEAN Cosmetic Chemicals

The analysis of cosmetic chemical demand from 2017 to 2021 showed a historical growth rate of less than 6% CAGR, with general expansion of the cosmetics & personal care industry driving growth as consumers increased spending amid rising disposable incomes.

Initial recessionary downturns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of lower cosmetic sales, store closures, and manufacturing cycle interruptions momentarily halted growth hopes.

However, since infection curves have flattened from 2022, industrial production activity in important markets have restarted. As a result, FMI’s ASEAN cosmetic chemicals demand projection predicts a CAGR of 6.2% by 2032.
