Executive Summary
A simple definition of an active cosmetic ingredient is an ingredient that brings about a measurable, desirable change or effect in one or more cosmetic skin (or hair) parameters.
The global market for active cosmetic ingredients is estimated at US$3,520 million for 2021 and is forecast to reach US$4,243 million by 2026. The largest product category is conditioning agents, with a share of 36%, followed by anti-aging ingredients at 23% and UV filters at 17%. Growth in 2021 was 5.7%, coming after a difficult year in 2020 when demand declined by 1.8%.
2021 saw a strong rebound in demand, as consumers were once again able to travel and socialise. The Asia Pacific region saw the fastest growth at 7.3%, followed by South America at 5.8%.
The situation in 2022 is concerning for the industry, as the energy crisis is once again forcing more people to work from home, and rising inflation is causing a cost-of-living crisis in many regions. Most likely, this will be further exacerbated in 2023.
The analyst is forecasting growth of 4.6% for 2022 for the global market as a whole, with price rises compensating for some volume declines.
This market is subject to huge influence by social media, which can irreparably harm the reputation of an ingredient or product very quickly.
Principally it is consumer needs and requirements that lead the way in the market for active ingredients, as users seek visible results from their skin and hair care products. There is continued emphasis on natural, sustainable and biodegradable ingredients. Consumers are looking for transparency and traceability of the ingredients in their skin care products.
Other trends include personalisation/customisation of cosmetics, research into the skin microbiome, transparency, and brand ethics. These issues are particularly important for young consumers. The demand for vegan, kosher and halal ingredients is also soaring.
Among the leading global suppliers of active cosmetic ingredients are BASF, DSM, Symrise, Croda/Sederma, Evonik, Seppic, Givaudan, Clariant and IFF (Lucas Meyer). The market is reasonably consolidated at the top end, with a share of approximately 95% being held by the top 16 players.
