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.

What are the Various Factors Driving the ASEAN Cosmetic Chemicals Market?

Their use is widely found in personal care products. A wide range of applications ranging from anti-ageing cream to shampoo is driving the cosmetic chemical market to its zenith. Companies these days are focusing on organic grade cosmetic chemicals as they are considered to be a healthier option when compared to commodity surfactants and petroleum oils.

Growing demand from ethnic groups for beauty products that are tailored to their needs is one of the major driving factors in the cosmetic industry. Furthermore, rising purchasing power, as well as increased awareness and demand for personal care products among aging baby boomers, are expected to drive demand for cosmetic chemicals.

However, rising demand for natural ingredients may stymie the ASEAN cosmetic chemicals market's growth trajectory. Furthermore, major corporations must adhere to industry standards and regulations.
