Market Insights and Analyst View:

Skincare and makeup products play a significant role in enhancing one's appearance and maintaining healthy skin. Skincare products refer to a range of items designed to nourish, protect, and improve the condition of the skin. Cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and masks are a few examples of skincare products which have a significant India skincare and makeup products market share. The products contain ingredients that target specific concerns, including dryness, acne, or aging, promoting a radiant and youthful complexion. On the other hand, makeup products encompass a variety of cosmetics such as foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow, and mascara. These products are used to enhance facial features and create different looks. While skincare products focus on long-term skin health, makeup provides the tools to express individual style and boost confidence in the short term. Both skincare and makeup products are important as they allow individuals to care for their skin, address specific concerns, and create a personalized aesthetic, ultimately contributing to overall well-being and self-expression.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

In recent times, awareness regarding skin health and appearance has increased significantly among consumers across India. Consumers seek skincare and makeup products that make their skin appear healthy, youthful, and radiant, as they are conscious about their appearance in social settings.

Moreover, rising disposable income of consumers increases their purchasing power. According to World Bank data, consumer expenditure in India increased from US$ 1.9 trillion in 2018 to US$ 2.4 trillion in 2022. According to the survey data published in the Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR), in 2023, an average of 45% of consumers spent less than ₹500 on cosmetics every month, with 38% spending around ₹500–1,000 per month, 11% spending ₹1,000–2,000, and 5% spending over ₹2,000 on cosmetics every month. It was also seen that, on average, 65% of consumers purchase 1 to 3 cosmetic products every month. The data was collected online via a Google form based on the questionnaire developed by the researchers.

Availability of various regional and international brands in the market gives consumers access to a variety of products as per their skin type. Moreover, the demand for luxury cosmetics is increasing among millennials and Gen Z consumers, owing to their preference for grooming up regularly to look fashionable and presentable. Additionally, men are increasingly using cosmetics products, gradually breaking down gender stereotypes. All these factors significantly influence consumers to spend more on skincare and makeup products. Thus, the rising spending on skincare and makeup products by consumers in India drives the market growth.

The rising awareness about skincare routines and the increasing prevalence of skin diseases in the country boost the demand for skincare products.

Based on category, the India skincare and makeup products market is segmented into natural and conventional. The conventional segment dominated the India skincare and makeup products market share in 2022. Conventional products may contain chemicals such as paraben, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, or petroleum-based ingredients. Due to easy availability of raw materials and reduced cost of production, manufacturers are largely involved in producing and distributing conventional skincare and makeup products. Also, major market players are involved in research and development activities to create product differentiation and provide added functionality to conventional products. With the rising popularity of natural and organic skincare and makeup products, manufacturers are inclining toward product innovation with natural ingredients, which might drive the market growth for the conventional segment in the coming years.

Based on end user, the India skincare and makeup products market is segmented into men, women, unisex, and kids. The women segment dominated the market in 2022.

According to the data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS July 2021–June 2022), 29.4% of women were part of India's labor force in 2021–2022. Thus, the high working women population in the country boosts the demand for cosmetics. Promoting beauty contests such as Miss India, Miss Diva, and Miss Supranational attracts more women toward beauty and skincare products across India. Thus, the demand for skincare and makeup products is high among women in India, which is expected to drive the India skincare and makeup products market growth for the segment in the coming years.
