COVID-19 impact:

Downfall in Level of Production and Product Delivery during Pandemic Decreased Market Growth

The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The OEM/ODM cosmetics sector was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of supply chain and production disruptions and worldwide flows. Production and product delivery was affected by lockdowns and labor shortages. Consumers started to spend more on skincare and hygiene products, rather than spending money on beauty and cosmetics. But then with the advent of e-commerce and online shopping the fortunes of the industry improved so dramatically because a lot of people prefer to seek beauty solutions from the comforts of their homes. Still, OEM/ODM manufacturers did not stand still and, with the help of digitalization tools, continued their work, actively focusing on the issues of hygiene and sustainability in order to meet market needs.

Driving Factors

Increased Consciousness of Need for Skincare, And Particularly For Youthful Skin to Amplify Market Growth

Increased consciousness of the need for skincare, and particularly for youthful skin, fuels the market. People are not just learning the composition of the food they eat, but also the outputs of those ingredients, making them more selective with their skin and hair products and require products with specific concerns such as acne, aging skin, and sensitive skin. Also, more people turned their attention to skin care and wellness in recent years due to the pandemic and, therefore, are willing to spend more on caring for their skin. Other important factors include sustainability/Environmental concerns since many consumers are opting for none tested organic, recycled products in their skincare. All of the above-mentioned factors are driving the OEM/ODM cosmetics market share.

Use of Social Media Platforms for Marketing to Propel Market Growth

The use of makeup is therefore a result of desire to meet the new beauty standards and the use of social media platform. Social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok have only boosted makeup lessons and new trends, and increased user curiosity evoking novel products. This has also contributed to expansion of the kind of makeup designs and colors as people aiming at attaining individuality. In addition, an increase in the demand for products that are long wearing and that can also do multiple jobs in a single application such as during the Covid-19 pandemic when wearing of masks and being out for longer hours became the order of the day.

Restraining Factor

Dangerous Products Used in cosmetic Products to Decrease Market Growth

A rising concern, which acts as a constraint to the cosmetics industry today, is the safety of products and their ingredients. Today’s markets are endowed with information on negative effects that certain chemicals, allergens may have on the skin and hence the search for natural products. We have seen this exert pressure on brands to change formulations and adhere to very high regulatory requirements thus increasing the manufacturing costs. Further, the spate of imitation products especially fragranced and colored cosmetics causes challenges since they flood the market particularly through e-marketing and the effects are that customer loyalty diminishes and sometimes runs into danger owing to possible bad reputation. These are the factors that slow down the market development and hinder novelties appearances.

Opportunity

Customers demand natural products, products not tested on animals, and those products that have eco friendly packaging.

These factors are creating several opportunities in the market.

Challenge

High Competition and Oversaturated Markets to Create Challenge in the Market

Another problem of the cosmetics industry is high competition and oversaturated markets around the world. Since there’s a host of brands pouring their products in to circulation, capturing the consumer attention and creating brand equity is a mammoth task. E-business has also caused severe price competitions as firms continue to drop prices for their products while increasing quality. Also, the overall management of sustainability issues of every supply chain starting from purchasing raw materials and reaching packaging creates operational and financial problems. Paying attention to the regulatory requirements of various countries becomes a challenge for the world’s leading brands.
