Fast-paced Innovations and Entry of Novel Technologies to Aid Market Growth

While technological advancements, including 3D printing and artificial intelligence, are playing an imperative role in bolstering the growth of an array of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, e-commerce, aerospace, and healthcare, the cosmetic sector is also on track to leverage these technologies to improve production techniques, quality of products, etc. At present, 3D printing is increasingly being used to develop skincare products such as sheet masks and more. The advent of 3D printing technology is expected to play a key role in improving the size and shape of sheet masks.

Demand to Remain Low in 2020 amid COVID-19 Pandemic, Research Likely to Gain Traction

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a strong impact on the growth of the global cosmetics ingredient market, particularly in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. As governments across several prominent markets around the world are increasingly focusing on containing the spread of the novel coronavirus, retail stores, shopping malls, and brand showrooms continue to remain shut for a major part of 2020 due to which, offline sales are expected to take a significant hit. In addition, restriction on cross-border trade, along with transportation are some of the other major factors that are likely to pose major challenges across the supply chain.

The overall demand for cosmetic ingredients in the first three quarters of 2020 is projected to remain relatively lower than usual due to the ongoing pandemic. Thus, market growth will remain sluggish. However, market players are anticipated to focus on product development, research, and explore possibilities of using new and safe ingredients in their products.
