Nanotechnology in Cosmetics Market Report 2026

The nanotechnology in cosmetics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.74 billion in 2025 to $11.33 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising innovation in cosmetic science, growing demand for advanced skincare performance, increasing research on nano based formulations, expanding premium cosmetics consumption, rising awareness of enhanced skin treatment solutions.

The nanotechnology in cosmetics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.83 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing development of nano ingredient products, rising demand for efficient cosmetic absorption technologies, growing investment in nanotechnology cosmetics manufacturing, strengthening consumer preference for high performance skincare, expanding innovation in nano enabled beauty solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of nano based cosmetic formulations, growing adoption of enhanced skin absorption nanotechnology, rising development of long lasting and stable cosmetic products, expansion of nano enabled premium beauty and skincare solutions, strengthening focus on high performance cosmetic ingredient delivery.

The increasing demand for green and ethical beauty products is expected to drive the growth of nanotechnology in the cosmetics market in the coming years. Green and ethical beauty products are formulated using natural, often organic ingredients, with an emphasis on sustainability and cruelty-free practices. The demand for these products is largely driven by environmentally conscious consumers seeking cruelty-free options and naturally derived ingredients. Nanotechnology is transforming green and ethical beauty formulations by enabling the development of high-performance products that may require fewer ingredients or utilize more sustainable alternatives. For example, in September 2023, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA), a US-based government agency, Thailand’s beauty products market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2022, with skincare accounting for 60% of the market. The skincare segment, valued at $2.5 billion, was projected to grow at an annual rate of 7% in 2023, with organic products representing 20-25% of the segment, while makeup sales, particularly lipsticks and foundations, increased by 71% compared with 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for green and ethical beauty products is contributing to the expansion of nanotechnology in the cosmetics market.

Major companies in the nanotechnology cosmetics market are focusing on creating advanced formulations, such as nanotechnology-based eye care products, to deliver active ingredients more effectively for enhanced skin rejuvenation and protection. These nanotechnology-based products improve the delivery and efficacy of ingredients, addressing concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles. By ensuring deeper absorption, they offer better hydration, protection, and anti-aging benefits. For example, in January 2023, ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched a new ocular aesthetic range under the brands Eyecirque, Lashfactor, and Vasuki. The Eyecirque line includes the world’s first nanotechnology-based gel serum, under-eye skin brightening tablets, lubricating eye drops, and eye supplements, all made from plant-based ingredients for safe use. Lashfactor provides premium eye serums designed to enhance natural beauty with fast absorption using nanotechnology. Additionally, the Vasuki Facial Gel Serum, featuring a synthetic neurotoxin snake venom complex, targets expression wrinkles and fine lines without altering facial expressions. Collectively, these products offer effective and safe solutions for eye health and aesthetic enhancement.
