Dublin, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Personal Care Ingredients Market by Ingredient Type (Emollients, Surfactants, Rheology Modifiers, Emulsifiers, Conditioning Polymers), Application (Skin Care, Hair Care, Oral Care, Makeup), and Region - Global Forecast to 2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global personal care ingredients market is projected to reach USD 17 billion by 2030, up from USD 13.17 billion in 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 4.40%. Personal care ingredients are vital in producing effective, safe, and multifunctional cosmetic and hygiene products. These components are fundamental across applications such as skincare, hair care, oral care, and makeup, fulfilling the growing demand for performance, transparency, and sustainability.
Market growth is fueled by factors including increased skin health awareness, rising disposable incomes, and global trends towards self-care and wellness. As regulatory standards become more stringent and ingredient awareness intensifies, manufacturers are focusing on clean-label, dermatologically approved, and environmentally sustainable solutions. This transition is driving an increase in bio-based actives, gentle surfactants, and functional ingredients, setting the stage for robust market growth in both developed and emerging economies.
Surfactants segment accounted for second-largest share in 2024
In 2024, surfactants represented the second-largest segment by value in the global personal care ingredients market. The widespread use of surfactants in cleansing and foaming products for skincare, hair care, and oral care is a primary growth driver. Derived from petroleum-based and bio-based materials, surfactants are critical to emulsification, cleansing, and textural enhancement. Increasing demand, particularly in developing regions, for shampoos, cleansers, and toothpaste supports their market position. The industry's shift towards mild, biodegradable, and sulfate-free surfactants aligns with consumer preferences for gentle and sustainable formulations.
Makeup application held the third-largest share in 2024
The makeup sector ranked third in 2024 due to high consumption of colorants, mattifying agents, and volatile silicones in products like foundations, lipsticks, and eye cosmetics. Fashion trends heavily influence market dynamics, prompting frequent product turnover and innovation. The demand for high-performance cosmetics, featuring long-wear and high-pigment attributes, is increasing consumption of specialized dispersants and film formers, especially in premium and professional lines.
Asia Pacific claimed the second-largest regional market in 2024
During 2024, Asia Pacific emerged as the second-largest market by value for personal care ingredients. This is driven by rapid urbanization, a growing middle class, and increased spending on personal grooming and health. Key countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India exhibit strong demand for sun care, hair care, and skincare products. The region's robust manufacturing base, preference for natural ingredients, and alignment with global standards enhance its market position.
