Key Driver
Rising demand for male beauty products is the key factor driving the market. The market encompasses a broad range of products, including acne control serums, anti-aging serums, and brightening serums, catering to the diverse needs of consumers. The increasing awareness of animal welfare and the demand for cruelty-free products have influenced vendors to produce ethical offerings. In the consumer goods industry, cosmetic serums have gained popularity due to their customized formulations, addressing various scalp, hair, and skin types. Major vendors are launching new and innovative serums, such as anti-pollution and hydrating serums, to cater to the evolving beauty consciousness of consumers.
Further, consumers are seeking hydration and protection for their skin, as well as solutions for specific concerns like acne treatment. The market for cosmetic serums is expected to continue growing, driven by the changing perception of grooming and appearance among various demographics. Counterfeit products remain a concern in the market, with vendors and regulatory bodies working to ensure the authenticity and safety of cosmetic serums. The environment is also a growing concern, with vendors focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly production methods. Overall, the market is poised for continued growth, driven by the evolving needs and preferences of consumers.
The increase in the introduction of organic and natural products is an emerging trend supporting the growth of the market. The health-related problems due to the usage of BPC products have increased the demand for natural products. The regular use of synthetic cosmetic serums can cause various hair-, skin-, and health-related issues, such as skin irritation, skin allergies, nerve damage, chemical burns, and various hormonal disorders.
Moreover, organic cosmetic serums are made from natural and organic ingredients, such as plant extracts and natural oils and the negative effects do not occur. Manufacturers are focusing more on organic cosmetic serums and this expansion of product lines also helps vendors differentiate their offerings. Organic cosmetic serums are free from harmful ingredients, such as sulfates and formaldehyde. These organic serums adhere to the high standards of purity set by various regulatory bodies in different countries. To address the growing demand for organic BPC products, vendors are introducing new lines of cosmetic serums.
The availability of counterfeit products will be a major challenge for the market. Owing to a surge in demand for these cosmetics, the supply of fake products is also increasing. This has also increased due to the growing penetration of e-commerce. Customers face difficulties in distinguishing between genuine and counterfeit products as they appear similar. Further, the low pricing of counterfeit products fuels their demand. Moreover, duplicate products are often contaminated with harmful substances, that may have harmful side effects on consumers. The growing number of counterfeit products will harm the sales and pricing strategies of genuine vendors operating in the global market.
Additionally, to meet such challenges, global players are compelled to price their products at lower rates, which reduces their profit margins and also the value sales proportion of the global market. Furthermore, another reason for the low price of counterfeit products is that a significant amount of costs is saved on the production and transportation of these products as their manufacturers usually operate in regional or local markets. This makes counterfeit products cheaper than their genuine counterparts. Therefore, these factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The cosmetic serum market segmentation by distribution channel consists of offline and online. The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. The segment comprises departmental stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores. These retail formats help in generating significant revenue in the global cosmetic serum market.
