The global organic personal care market size was valued at USD 19.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing concerns regarding the adverse effects of chemicals on the skin, such as skin irritation, dryness, and dullness, have been the key factors fueling the market growth. The rising awareness regarding the benefits of organic products has encouraged consumers to seek eco-friendly, sustainable, skincare products that come with greater product ingredient transparency. The outbreak of COVID-19 has drastically impacted the usage of chemical-free personal care products due to rising health, wellness, and sustainability-related concern among consumers.
Increasing use of online purchasing platforms by home-bound consumers is likely to upscale the demand for these beauty products. This factor has also paved the path for multiple growth opportunities for numerous industry participants. With more consumers focusing on their appearance, adopting healthier lifestyles, and overall wellbeing, personal care products are expected to become an integral part of their lives. Parameters such as chemical-free ingredients and green credentials are now a priority for many beauty product users. According to a survey published in July 2021 by Prodge-marketing company, more than 34% of consumers in the U.S. preferred buying organic beauty products over synthetic products.
Moreover, increasing investments in the research & development of products, coupled with the rising trend of herbal ingredient-based products, have encouraged manufacturers to launch new products. For instance, in April 2021, Refresh Botanical expanded its market reach to India by launching its product line formulated for sensitive, aging, and acne-prone skin types. The product line would include facial cleansers, toners, moisturizers, eye and face makeup remover, intensive serum, night restore the complex, and premium eye serum. These products would further be available for purchase at brick-and-mortar operations, retail shopping malls in major cities across India, and e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, and Smytten.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made consumer attention gravitate toward online stores at a faster rate than ever. Witnessing such current trends, major brands in the market have been investing in providing a standout experience for customers in the digital space. For instance, in October 2021 Award-winning filmmaker, actor, and activist Olivia Wilde participated in an online campaign on the fifth anniversary of her partnership with eco-luxury organic skincare brand, True Botanicals. This campaign showcased the unexpected duality of safe, sustainable skincare, and the importance of natural ingredients.
Such collaborations and partnerships are likely to influence consumers and convince them to buy certified products. Additionally, millennials who spend a lot of time on the internet have a high inclination toward trending online articles, product launches, and celebrity endorsements. According to Global Web Index (GWI) report published in June 2020 stated that on a daily basis online engagement of consumers increased during the pandemic on all social media platforms. Approximately, 63% of skincare buyers visited YouTube, followed by Facebook (56%) and Instagram (49%). All the aforementioned factors are likely to improve the digital performances of key brands in the market.
The skin care segment held the largest market share of 50.8% in 2021 and is expected to maintain dominance during the forecast period. The rising skin concerns, such as dry and aging skin, are driving product demand. Product launches by regional and international brands in this segment are likely to benefit the overall market growth. For instance, in May 2021, Sukin, an Australian organic beauty brand, launched an age-defying product line. These products include active ingredients such as pure ribose, paracress extract, Crambe oil, white hibiscus & baobab, which help in reducing wrinkles and maintaining smooth skin. Hence, increasing awareness regarding these ingredients for fighting skin concerns is expected to fuel product demand during the forecast period.
However, the oral care segment is projected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period with a CAGR of 10.5% from 2022 to 2030. Owing to the rising consumer focus on dental health and wellness, people of all ages are opting for such products. According to an article published by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, nearly 3.5 billion people were affected by oral diseases. The proliferation of effective and routine mouth-keep products, a rise in the number of service providers, and widespread acceptance of the concept of oral hygiene are driving the market. Consumers prefer good oral hygiene as it prevents cavities & gum diseases and aids in keeping the body’s natural defenses and bacteria under control.
Hypermarket/supermarkets was the largest distribution channel segment with a revenue share of more than 43.5% in 2021. With an increased inclination of consumers toward the organic beauty products regime, many brands are expanding their offerings to hypermarkets/supermarkets. For instance, in February 2022, Thayers Natural Remedies, which was acquired by L’Oréal in 2020, has expanded its product offering to Walmart, with distribution in more than 3,500 stores in the U.S. The brand would offer exclusive new sizes of its Certified Organic Witch Hazel Facial Toners (8.5 oz) and Facial Mists (4 oz) at the retailer. The e-commerce distribution channel segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030.
Benefits offered by the online channels, such as shopping from anywhere globally, doorstep delivery, free shipping, and discounts, are attracting consumers to opt for this channel. In addition, the increasing familiarity and rising dependence of millennials & generation Z on the internet are expected to drive product sales through distribution channels. Moreover, it was witnessed that consumers buying skin products online gradually increased due to the ‘stay indoor factor’, during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to an article published by Power Reviews, in February 2021, 49% of the total online consumer spends more than USD 50 on beauty products, compared to 16% when they were asked this same question in 2019.
Europe made the second-largest contribution to the global market with an approximate share of 26.00% in 2021. With the growing demand for organic ingredients, consumers across the region are inclined towards organic beauty products, which is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Witnessing such trends, key players in the region are launching new products to gain maximum market share. For instance, in October 2021 Estée Lauder-backed luxury Ayurveda brand- Forest Essentials expanded its footprint to its first international market in the U.K. The company plans to open 12 new stores in the U.K. by end of 2024 and strengthen its online presence with a local e-commerce website in the next six months.
Such expansion strategies will fuel the overall regional growth. Asia Pacific will register the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. The consumer’s growing concern about their health and hygiene has enhanced the demand for chemical-free personal products in the region. Such factors compelled manufacturers to improve their product offerings to match the dynamically changing consumer requirements. Some of the brands offering organic products in the region are L’Occitane, Origins, and Mamaearth. Also, the region holds a potential growth opportunity due to the increasing per capita consumption and the expanding population. Furthermore, a growing number of middle-class households and rising skin consciousness and sustainability knowledge among the consumers are expected to fuel the demand for these products.
The market is still developing with more scope for growth in the near future, where new entrants and established players are launching innovative products to suffice the increasing demand for sustainable skin care products across the globe. For example, in June 2021, SO’BiO étic, a beauty brand in France, launched its chemical-free beauty product line in the U.S. The new product range includes a hydrating day cream, organic brightening moisturizing cream, tone correcting serum, and organic cleansing foam. In April 2021, Lacaille Beauty launched its website and natural organic hair care product collection.
The product range includes a deep conditioner, fortifying leave-in conditioner, hair repositor, vitamin boost hair primer, and anti-frizz and shine curl forming custard cream made using natural organic ingredients, such as avocado and honey with coconut and organic essential oils. In December 2020, Henkel Beauty Care announced the launch of several product innovations in 2021 for organic brand NAE, Diadermine skin care products, and Schwarzkopf hair dyes.
