Cosmeceuticals Market Outlook  

The cosmeceuticals market is expected to grow at an 8.60% CAGR by 2030, reaching USD 24.56 billion.

The growing middle-aged population, burgeoning urban population, and fast-paced lifestyle are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the targeted market. The introduction of COVID-19 significantly hampered global demand for cosmeceuticals. Furthermore, the market had a significant drop in the number of patient appointments recorded by pioneering dermatologists. Combined, the closure of shops involved in distributing these products during the lockdown is one of the few primary reasons for the negative impact on the market. Furthermore, elective procedures involving medical aesthetic processes were discontinued to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and patient crowding at specialty clinics involved in beautification treatment decreased. 

The global Cosmeceuticals market is driven primarily by consumers' growing concern about physical appearance. The growing urban population and increased consumer awareness of the benefits of cosmeceuticals fuel market growth. Furthermore, the use of advanced technologies such as plant stem cell technology and nanotechnology to advance new active ingredients contributes to the growth of the global Cosmeceuticals Market. It has also been noted that the demand is high among people aged 30-45. In recent years, the decreasing mortality rate has resulted in an aging population worldwide. The demand for anti-aging products to prevent hair loss, age spots, uneven skin tone, dry skin, and wrinkles is growing. As a result, new elements and variations in the cosmetic industry have emerged, addressing the manufacturer's focus on active anti-aging-based skin products.
