Growth Opportunities in Emerging Nutricosmetics Technologies, 2024–2029

Growth Opportunities in Emerging Nutricosmetics Technologies, 2024–2029


Increased Focus on Health and Wellness Promoting the Growth of Nutricosmetic Supplements

Consumer awareness regarding skin health and how to achieve it has seen significant growth in the past few years. Because of changes in lifestyle, environment, and food consumption, numerous skin health concerns have increased.

Nutricosmetics are nutritional supplements that provide cosmetic benefits. Formulators develop these supplements with one or more active ingredients to solve skin, hair, and nail health issues from within the body. Unlike traditional cosmetic products that consumers apply externally so active molecules absorb into skin cells, consumers ingest nutricosmetics in various formats, such as pills, gummies, liquids, powders, or tablets.
The active molecule dissolves into the bloodstream and then moves to the skin cells. This process enables more efficient absorption of the active molecule and improves the skin cells’ health from within.

The research offers a snapshot of emerging and futuristic ingredients and enabling technologies in the nutricosmetics industry and examines the factors driving their development and adoption. The study evaluates the R&D and commercialization of various ingredients and technologies in the nutricosmetics space.

The study contains a comparative assessment of emerging and future ingredients, technologies, and their technology readiness levels (TRLs) to identify the ingredients and technologies that will impact the R&D and commercialization of nutricosmetics in the future. The study period is 2023 to 2029.
