Packaging Insights

BB product is cost-effective for consumers as is combines the functionality of moisturizer, sunscreen, premier, and foundation. Many products are formulated for specific skin types. As these creams are primarily packaged in plastic over glass, the market for tubes is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

Distribution Channel

The offline segment held the largest market share of more than 90% share in 2018. In several regions including U.S. and Europe, governments have provided flexible working hours where departmental stores and supermarkets can operate till midnight.

The online segment is expected to exhibit the fastest CAGR of 16.8% over the forecast period. With the increasing internet penetration in various countries, online sales channels have experienced significant growth over the last three to four years. Moreover, online retailers such as Amazon and Flipkart are adding this product category as their main focus area. Furthermore, the beauty care packaging category has attracted vertical specialists such as Nykaa and Purplle, who are focusing on increasing their market presence.
