The global cosmetic ingredient market is projected to expand at a high CAGR during 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for natural and organic cosmetic ingredients.
Cosmetic ingredients are composed of natural, organic, synthetic, and artificial ingredients that are essential for the manufacture of beauty products. Cosmetic ingredients are special combinations of active ingredients used in cosmetic formulations and ingredients to improve the appearance of people. Increasing purchasing power, rising awareness about beautification, growing per capita income, and urbanized population are expected to accelerate the growth of the global cosmetics industry during the forecast period.

- Key industry factors such as increased disposable income, high population growth, increased consumer awareness, and increased R&D are expected to drive the market.
- Increasing consumer focus towards personal grooming and appearance and development of natural and organic ingredients led consumers to prefer clean labels for cosmetic formulations.
