Cosmetics are products that individuals rub, pour, sprinkle, or spray on their bodies in order to cleanse, promote attractiveness, beautify, or change their appearance. Vegan cosmetics are products that do not contain any animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients, such as gelatine, cholesterin or collagen, honey, beeswax, or milk. The significant advantage of using vegan cosmetics is that they are extremely beneficial to the skin as they are rich in vitamins with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
According to this analysis, the Global Vegan Cosmetics Market was valued at ~US$ 10 billion in 2017. Furthermore, owing to the increasing government interventions prohibiting cosmetics animal testing along with the increasing adoption of veganism, it is estimated to be ~US$ 13 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach a market size of ~US$ 20 billion by 2028 growing with CAGR of ~6% during 2022 to 2028.
The growing popularity of plant-based products, combined with the emerging veganism trend across countries, is driving up demand for vegan cosmetics.
The rising government implementation of prohibiting animal testing for cosmetics across countries is a significant contributor to the growth of veganism.
Increasing dissemination of counterfeit cosmetic products across countries may impede the growth of the vegan cosmetics market.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has bolstered demand for vegan cosmetics as consumers actively seek to improve their consumption patterns beyond food, particularly those who have been infected with the virus.
By Distribution Channel: The Supermarket/Hypermarket segment held the largest market share of the Global Vegan Cosmetics Market in 2021.
The growth is mainly attributed to the availability of a variety of products at lower or discounted prices as compared to other stores.
The modernization of retail stores across countries, notably in emerging countries, is increasing revenue generation through off-trade sales channels, such as supermarkets/hypermarkets.
By Gender: The Women segment held the largest market share of the Global Vegan Cosmetics Market in 2021, owing to the increasing number of working women across countries.
For instance, according to World Bank, as of June 2022, the women labor force participation rate is 46% globally.
Women usually experience more acne, wrinkles, and blocked skin follicles than men, which leads to oil, bacteria, and dead skin buildup in pores, influencing them to use more natural, organic, and vegan cosmetics.
By Geography: Europe accounted for the largest share of the Global Vegan Cosmetics Market in 2021 and will remain dominant during the forecast period (2022-2028).
The growth is mainly attributed to the emergence of a large number of prominent players for cruelty-free cosmetics in Europe, notably in Italy, France, the UK, Germany, and Spain.
Furthermore, the European government’s move to prohibit animal testing for cosmetics is also encouraging individuals to use vegan cosmetics. In April 2022, European Union stated that selling cosmetic products tested on animals is prohibited and the testing applies to both the final formulation and the ingredients of the product.
Country-niche players comprise about ~65% of the total competitors, while regional players constitute ~30% of competition. Some of the major players in the market include Arbonne International LLC, Coty Inc., Gabriel Cosmetics, L'Oréal S.A., Lush Retail Ltd., Shiseido Company, Limited, Plum, Disguise Cosmetics, Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Pacifica Beauty LLC, Amway Corp., L'Occitane en Provence, and among others.
