Impact of COVID-19 on global personal care ingredients industry

The outbreak of COVID-19 will have a considerable negative impact on the global personal care ingredients industry. The personal care ingredients industry has seen crises before, such as the 2008 Financial Crisis; however, the industry has come through them effectively and efficiently by 2010. Though, the crisis from the outbreak of COVID-19 will act differently for the personal care ingredients industry. This includes a dramatical change in the purchase and usage behavior, leading to the fall of sales across various segments, which includes color cosmetics and inorganic products. The sales of makeup products in the domestic market as well as abroad have come down to a grinding halt. The continuous spread of COVID-19 has compelled the respective countries to announce lockdown. According to OMR analysis, over 100 countries globally have instituted partial or full lockdown by the end of March 2021. This has hampered the manufacturing and retail of the personal care ingredients industry, as market players were asked to close factories, stores/showrooms, and salons/spas were shutdown. During March-May 2021, the personal care ingredients industry has faced downturns on account of cash, supply chain disturbances, and manpower-related issues. Consolidation can be expected in the personal care ingredients industry post-COVID-19, as the small and medium companies may not be able to survive this crisis, especially when the customers are not paying. Therefore, a lot of SMEs will disappear by the end of the crisis. In addition, the revenue of the industry is threatened as the customers are affected by the global macroeconomic collapse, social distancing, and other COVID-19 norms to contain the spread of the pandemic. The cease of lockdown in a few countries, such as India, France, and Italy, among others, has led to the gradual opening of the spas/salons and retail stores. Though, social gathering is still restricted in these economies; therefore, the demand for cosmetics for occasions and events is not expected from the consumer side. Fashion events that were scheduled to take place were canceled, such as Paris June Fashion. Even after the lockdown has ceased in several economies, the number of new COVID-19 cases are still on the rise, restraining salon visits across the globe. While the scale and the impacts of the crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic may not have been foreseen, it will further bring the fragility and the power imbalances of the personal care industry value chain. The personal care ingredients market players need to build a strong and resilient partnership with the personal care products manufacturing countries and suppliers, both domestic and abroad. This may assist the companies to gain market growth in the global market amidst the crisis. Moreover, rapid growth in the cosmetics industry can be expected in mid-2021 or the first quarter of 2022, considering the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines and the cease of social distancing.
