Integration of QR codes with AR technology in cosmetic packaging is the upcoming trend in the market. The cosmetic industry continues to evolve, with packaging playing a pivotal role in appealing to consumers and enhancing brand identity. Cosmetic brands are increasingly investing in innovative packaging solutions, such as plastic jugs and bottles, glass bottles, and the integration of QR codes with Augmented Reality (AR) technology. These packaging designs not only provide functionality but also create an experience for consumers. For instance, QR codes, when scanned, unlock digital content and AR experiences, allowing consumers to visualize product applications and experiment with different looks in real-time. With the growing global population and urbanization, the demand for cosmetic items is on the rise, leading to an increase in disposable income and discretionary cash flow.
As a result, sustainability and recyclability have become crucial considerations for consumers and cosmetic brands alike.

The global population and urbanization have contributed to an increase in disposable income and the availability of various cosmetic products.
However, this trend has resulted in demand for cosmetic packaging. However, the market faces challenges, including the proliferation of counterfeit cosmetic items. These counterfeit products, often sold through e-commerce channels, are gaining popularity due to their lower prices. However, their use may pose health risks and hinder the growth of the cosmetics industry as a whole.
