Personalized Skin Care Products Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Face Care, Body Care), By Gender, By Type (Mass, Premium), By Distribution Channel, By Testing, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global personalized skin care products market size was estimated at USD 26.20 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2023 to 2030. The emergence of technologies and the next-generation personalized beauty industry and the high prevalence of skin and lifestyle diseases are expected to drive market growth in the coming years. According to an article published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., published in February 2021, almost one-third of the world’s population suffers from various skin diseases such as acne, dermatitis, ichthyosis, and pemphigus. This scenario makes consumers eager to find solutions to their specific skin problems.

The COVID-19 pandemic augmented several shopping trends among consumers, such as customized ingredients in skincare products, which were at the top of the trending list. During the pandemic, R&D activities by several companies in the personalized skincare products arena were market focused on customer expectations and developing products that have as many natural/organic ingredients as possible. Major players in the market considered R&D an important strategy to stay ahead of the competition and gain maximum market share amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Consumers' growing attention to personal care items and the rising cost of healthcare will drive manufacturers to use cutting-edge technology and provide customized goods and services. For example, in August 2021, the American company Function of Beauty, a pioneer in bespoke hair, skin, and body care products, acquired Atolla, a personalized skincare business with a patented at-home skincare test and a data-driven product recommendation system that gradually suggests bespoke formulations and regimens.

Additionally, the market's leading companies are taking an increasing number of actions, such as mergers and acquisitions, new product development, and innovation in existing products, which should help the next-generation personalized beauty industry including personalized skin care products experience growth throughout the projection period. Additionally, the market is projected to be supported by the rising demand for skincare products that address certain concerns, such as face creams, moisturizers, body lotions, shaving gels, accessories, and cosmetics

Manufacturers are being driven to create goods that are specialized to meet the needs of each individual by the growing consumer preference for intelligent and adaptive formulations for the skin. As a result, manufacturers are creating ready-to-use formulations that are customized to each customer's skin type using substances such as granactive retinoid turmeric extract, arbutin, and pomegranate extract. For instance, the personalized skincare line Proven provides cleansers, day moisturizers, and night creams with components that are tailored to the various skin types and textures.

In addition, the increasing trend of co-creation in-store, with booths and pop-ups where people can mix and match ingredients firsthand to design their perfect product, will boost the demand for customized ingredients in personalized skincare products. According to an article published by Cosmetics Design, in September 2022, nearly 52% of U.K. skin care users think there should be more stores that can help them create products according to specific skin types.

The increasing application of skincare and cosmetic products in the emerging markets of Australia, South Korea, Japan, China, India, and other ASEAN countries due to a growing number of product launches and rising concerns about skin health, the harmful effects of UV rays, and skin conditions are likely to influence the Asia Pacific personalized skin care products market positively.
