Changing consumer preferences towards organic cosmetic products
Consumers are becoming more aware of the perceived benefits of natural/organic cosmetic products apart from the increase in the number of natural/organic cosmetics offered through the major retailing channels. The increasing consumer’s sensitivity towards natural and organic products affects the increase in overall demand for the use of natural and ecologically clean materials in the production of cosmetics. This opens up possibilities for exporters of natural cosmetic ingredients even if a natural/organic cosmetic that contained the exporter’s ingredient was not certified itself.
Over time, consumers are waking up to the effects of personal care products on the environment and the environment itself in terms of packaging used and the raw materials that are used during the production of personal care products, which include dangerous environmental effects, and this drives consumers towards natural cosmetics proteins that are environmentally friendly and obtained from environmentally sustainable sources.
Limited shelf life of natural cosmetics
The shelf life of natural cosmetics can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of formulation used in the cosmetics, the ingredients used while preparing the cosmetics, and how the cosmetics are packed and stored. It may also be noted that while natural cosmetics are usually available with a relatively short effective period, this information is given on the packaging.
Conventional cosmetics contain preservatives produced through synthetic chemistry, which are toxic and detrimental to the human body. Fresh, natural products can spoil, and when they are used on the skin after expiry, they may prove wrong as their safe efficacy is compromised. These factors limit the growth of the natural and organic cosmetics market.
Rising sales through e-commerce platforms
Traditionally, cosmetic businesses are known to rely heavily on direct, in-person store sales mainly to attract new consumers and retain the existing ones. With the rise of digitalization and the expansion of digital commerce, cosmetics companies have begun establishing a strong presence alongside the leading e-commerce industries.
As stated in the report published by TRAI on the Indian Telecom Services Performance Indicators for the period Jan to Mar 2023, the internet user base in the country was more than 880 million in Mar 2023 except for telecom users number which was more than 1,172 million.
Product Insights
By product type, the skin care segment held the largest share of the natural and organic cosmetics market in 2023. Organic beauty treatments and organic cosmetics are natural remedies for regular chemical beauty treatments and programs that are based on organic products coming from plants, animals, or minerals. They can have no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or other chemicals that are potentially harmful to the skin or cause skin irritation. Organic skincare products may also be comprised of natural antioxidants and vitamins, which may benefit the skin by nourishing it. The usage of organic skin care products is gradually creeping into the cosmetics trade.
The hair care segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the natural and organic cosmetics market during the forecast period. Natural hair care products are those products that are made from 100% natural items like extracts from natural products and natural oils. All these ingredients are mild and will not harm the hair and scalp. They are, therefore, suitable for all hair types, especially those that have sensitive or damaged hair that has undergone some chemical processes.
The store-based segment accounted for a significant share of the natural and organic cosmetics market in 2023. Thus, it can be stated that online shopping is becoming popular because it is simple and convenient. This is so due to the influence of two electronic networks, namely e-commerce and e-business. E-commerce enhances the extent of advertising of businesses' products and services. It also assists in fine management of marketing of products or services in the market. Natural and organic beauty brands are off and running with e-commerce, supported by own-brand company websites and multi-brand retail sites that offer the right venues for product sales and, most importantly, consumer education.
By distribution channel, the non-store-based segment is expected to grow rapidly in the natural and organic cosmetics market during the forecast period. By maintaining a comprehensive record of feature history, the offline store contributes to the reproducibility of models and allows data scientists to identify trends, perform time-based analyses, and uncover insights. The offline store is typically implemented as a column-oriented store, which offers benefits in terms of storage efficiency, query performance, cost, and scalability. The offline store features the historical values of features, permitting proficient and scalable access to large volumes of historical feature data for model training and batch inference.
The female segment dominated the natural and organic cosmetics market in 2023. Rising awareness of beauty products, increasing personal grooming premium, altering consumption patterns, and enhanced purchasing power of women are forecasted to boost. Advertisements and reference groups majorly influence women. Women are interested in natural and herbal products and treatments, and they don’t mind spending extra, though they are price-sensitive.
The male segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the natural and organic cosmetics market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for gender-specific products such as shaving creams, shampoos, face masks and peels, and conditioners by men is expected to positively impact the market. The growing use of products like creams, face wash, and serums has resulted from an increase in product launches in the men's skincare segment. Gen-Z consumers prefer gender-neutral beauty products.
