The global cosmetic pigments market is anticipated to reach $4.4 billion by 2032, growing from $2.1 billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to 2032.
Cosmetic pigments are used as coloring agent in cosmetic products to provide a range of color, texture, and look. Variety of colors, white pigments, metallic shades, and others falls under the broad category of cosmetic pigments. They are used in manufacturing of personal care products such as lip care, nail improvement, hair color, and skin care. Based on composition, cosmetics pigments are of two types namely organic and inorganic pigments. Organic pigments are based on carbon chains that give brighter color in comparison with inorganic pigments. Whereas inorganic pigments are generally metallic compounds and salts such as chromates and metallic oxides that are generally resistant to solvents.
Cosmetic pigments offer benefits such as color stability, opacity & transparency, safety, and numerous others. Cosmetic pigments must be effective in different environments, including exposure to light, heat, and chemicals, to maintain their intended color over time. These pigments need to meet safety regulations and be approved for use on the skin and other relevant areas. People prefer cosmetic products that do not generate allergies, skin irritation, or other adverse reactions. Furthermore, some pigments are opaquer, while some are semi-transparent or transparent. The opaqueness of a pigment influences the intensity of the color and the ability to layer it.
Cosmetic pigments are regarded as color additives in many nations, and their usage in cosmetics requires special authorization. Manufacturers must make sure that the necessary regulatory bodies have approved the use of their pigments in cosmetics. In addition, accurate labeling of cosmetic products is essential for customer safety and well-informed purchasing decisions, including the contents of pigments. Regulatory compliance involves accurate ingredient declarations on product packaging. The compliance of these regulatory guidelines requires ample of time and money. This factor at times hamper the approval and launch of new cosmetic products and also affects the cosmetic pigments demand.
Along with customer demand for sustainable and ecologically friendly products, there is an increasing opportunity to develop cosmetic pigments from natural, biodegradable, or recycled materials. This considers both environmental issues and the requirement for creative products in the cosmetics industry. Natural pigment sources like plant extracts, minerals, and even microbes are becoming more popular within the cosmetic industry. These natural pigments have the ability to create stunning hues without the usage of artificial chemicals. In addition, some businesses are working on environmentally safe and biodegradable pigments. These pigments break down more quickly when they are used, which minimizes their lasting impact on the environment.
The growth of the global cosmetics sector has significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the fact that government-enforced lockdowns resulted in a shortage of labor, which led to the temporary shutdown of cosmetic manufacturing facilities. Businesses were also forced to cut down on staff and implement work-from-home model, which further hampered the output of cosmetic products. Numerous stores that sold cosmetics and other beauty products were forced to shut during the lockdown restrictions. In addition, during the pandemic, regulatory organizations encountered difficulties related to operations due to lack of workforce, that had an effect on the certification and licensing procedures for new pigments. The introduction of novel and cutting-edge pigments to the market was hampered by delays in regulatory approvals.
