Cosmetics are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance of the face or fragrance and texture of the body. Many cosmetics are designed to apply to the face and body.

Cosmetics applied to face for improvement of appearance are called makeup, including lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, mascara, blush and bronzer, among other products.

Furthermore, premium cosmetics is a category of the cosmetic industry that costs much higher than regular cosmetic products and can alter or enhance the appearance of the face, the body's texture or scent. Most chemical components in high-end cosmetics are derived from natural sources, although they can also be man-made, synthetic or halal.

Market Dynamics

The global Premium Cosmetics market is primarily driven due to an increase in anti-aging awareness campaigns, rising disposable income and the growing aging population. Moreover, growing consciousness among young and old consumers regarding their physical appearance has fostered the demand for premium cosmetics.

Tremendously improving demand for anti-aging products and long-lasting makeup is driving the premium cosmetics market growth

Skin aging is characterized by a steady decline in the skin's functional abilities due to changes in some internal organs' work and general fitness levels. Skin aging is growing, coupled with the growth of the aged global population. For instance, According to U.S. Census Bureau, more than 54 million adults in the country are 65 years of age or older, making up roughly 16.5 %. Furthermore, according to the 2020 National Commission on Population report, there were be 67 million men and 71 million women aged 65 and older in India by 2021. The senior population is growing at a faster rate than the general population.

The growing population has escalated the demand for various products and the cosmetics industry is among the most popular in recent times. Thus to overcome the aging side effects on the skin, the need for anti-wrinkle treatments has expanded due to the growing customer desire for goods that quickly reduce the indications of aging, including wrinkles, lines, blemishes, frowns lines and pigmentation.

Additionally, the per capita use and spending of skin care products worldwide have been considerably impacted by the promotional techniques employed by various manufacturers. It has been seen recently that the majority of the top anti-wrinkle product firms have started to market their goods as high-quality organic, natural, safe and extremely effective. The growth in anti-wrinkle product demand has boosted the market share of the premium cosmetics industry in return, leading to huge growth opportunities for the product in the forecast period.

High-cost premium cosmetics hurdle the market growth of the product

The high cost associated with premium cosmetics is the major restrain impacting the market growth for the premium cosmetics industry. Studies have revealed that most women spend an incredible US$ 234 annually on cosmetics. Furthermore, that is based on a conservative assessment, considering the buyers of ""premium"" goods like US$ 100 Chantecaille mascara, US$ 40 Nars lipstick and US$ 50 Benefit highlighter. However, research shows that only 15% of the total product cost goes toward the ingredients. The rest is spent on glossy appeal, marketing and product branding. Thus, due to large-scale investment, few top players are ruling the premium cosmetics market, which creates limited options for the customer to compare the price chart; hence, only the upper middle class can afford the product.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant negative impact on the premium Cosmetics industry. The sudden arrival of the deadly virus has shown negative effects on the cosmetics industry and hence in return, hurdles the growth of the premium category of the product.

With firms converting to producing hand sanitizers and cleaning supplies and providing free beauty treatments for frontline response workers, the sector has positively responded to the situation. At the same time, the industry's leaders must keep their financial side of the business. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic will have a considerably higher economic impact on brands and stores than any recession, there are indications that the beauty industry may again be comparatively robust. In February, China's sector sales decreased by up to 80% from the same month in 2019.

The year-over-year reduction in March was 20%, which was a quick recovery under the circumstances. Consumer survey data revealed that they would spend less on beauty products in the forecast period in various markets (largely due to declines in cosmetic spending). Thus the reduction in the overall cosmetic sector has severely hampered the premium cosmetics industry during the 202-2021 period. However, with changing COVID-19 conditions, the market is expected to regain the market growth momentum in the forecast period.
