These cosmetics are safe, portable, and non-toxic. Waterless solutions can boost the potency of skincare products and improve their skin efficacy. Waterless compositions are long-lasting and can help with water conservation and environmental protection. The global cosmetics and personal care sector are expected to drive market expansion during the forecast years. Furthermore, important market drivers are technological innovation and development in the manufacturing of waterless products.

Market Dynamics:

Increase application of waterless cosmetic in beauty products

When it comes to beauty products, today's beauty conscious customers are looking for more sustainable and healthier options. The waterless beauty trend began in the east and is now spreading to the west and industrialized countries. The concept of rapidly raising the strength of skincare and cosmetics products is at the core of the waterless beauty movement. The concept of 'waterless beauty' refers to the possibility of formulating products with recycled water, new sources of water, or no water at all. Waterless forms such as solid bar formats, powder products, cleansing balms, and No Water Makeup are now being explored. The use of botanical, fruit-based, and hydrating oils as a replacement for water is becoming increasingly popular. This is one of the key factors why the availability of waterless cosmetics is gradually picking up. As a result of this, the market for waterless cosmetics is expected to increase rapidly over the next few years. Additionally, water is widely utilized as a filler in cosmetics to enhance product life because it prevents contamination and is also cheap.

Regardless of its benefits, combining water is not without its drawbacks. Microorganisms can thrive in environments where there is a lot of water. The more water there is, the more bacteria can get in. As a result, a wide range of preservatives are added to water-rich items to extend their shelf life and prevent microbial development. Given the challenges provided by water-rich products on the one hand, and the benefits of waterless cosmetics on the other, the waterless cosmetics market is likely to grow at a healthy rate over the forecast period.

Waterless beauty products are used for various functions, including skin calming, tightening, whitening, and hydrating, as well as maintaining skin beauty and health.

With a CAGR of XX percent during the forecast period, the online segment of the market is estimated to grow at the quickest rate during the forecast years. Consumers are increasingly using e-commerce platforms to shop for consumer goods and beauty products due to the growing internet penetration rate, which has led to lucrative category growth. Several manufacturers sell cosmetics on their websites and through e-commerce platforms, which will help the market growth throughout the projection period. The youth increasingly use online buying platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and other mobile apps. The expansion of this market is being fueled by a variety of offers, promotions, and substantial discounts on cosmetic products and an increase in the number of online cosmetic distributors.

Geographical Penetration:

Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region during the forecast period

In 2021, Asia Pacific contributed the most to the global market, accounting for over XX percent.

The existence of many well-established players such as L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Kao Corporation, as well as several domestic players and a robust distribution channel, drives the market. To attract end users to embrace the most up-to-date waterless cosmetics, industry players have begun to give discounts on cosmetic brands. Procter & Gamble has launched a new retail hair care brand in the United States. Consumers are likely to accept the product faster due to such improvements and developments. The market is expected to see new market entrants and product advancements due to the rapid growth of waterless beauty products. Green + Bare, a new Australian brand committed to giving a range of water-free cosmetic products, was launched in 2020. Everist Inc. debuted its high-performance beauty product in the hair care area in January 2021.

COVID-19 Impact:

Negative impact on the global waterless cosmetics market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, global demand for waterless cosmetics was growing at a moderate rate. Store closures in various countries substantially impacted the expansion of beauty products, particularly waterless cosmetics, because store-based retailing is a major distribution route in the beauty sector. In addition, the waterless cosmetics business has been hampered by a lack of workers in the field, lower consumption, high production costs, and a scarcity of raw materials, among other problems. However, with stay-at-home orders and safer-at-home advice issued worldwide in the aftermath of the pandemic, demand for eco-friendly skincare products has grown.
