Strong Growth of Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry Fuels the Asia Pacific Sophorolipid and Rhamnolipid Market

The personal care & cosmetics industry is growing significantly as people increasingly buy personal care and beauty products. In recent years, there has been a growth in the use of different cosmetic products among both male and female consumers in their daily routines. The personal care and cosmetic product manufacturers are focusing on product branding, advertising, and new product launch strategies to increase their product sales. The e-commerce industry in many countries has been witnessing a rising growth curve, further boosting the sales of personal care and cosmetic products across the globe.

In China, the cosmetic industry is driven by the rising promotion of cosmetic products on social media platforms and growing use of e-commerce platforms to buy these products. Japan is one of the major markets for cosmetic & personal care products. According to the International Trade Administration, the country is home to ~3,000 beauty care companies, such as Shiseido, Kosé, Pola Orbis, and other brands. In the country, skin care products for anti-aging, brightening, and moisturizing dominate the Japanese cosmetics market.

Thailand is also witnessing a high demand for skin care products with natural ingredients. Further, the personal care & cosmetics industry in India is growing rapidly due to social media marketing, rising digitization, and the advent of e-commerce beauty platforms. In India, improving socio-economic standards and the large-scale development of digital and manufacturing sectors are increasing the demand for cosmetic products.

Further, rising awareness regarding the use of chemical-based ingredients in personal care and cosmetics products is driving the demand for biosurfactants. Nowadays, biosurfactants such as sophorolipids and rhamnolipids are gaining more attention due to environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic, and less side effects. Sophorolipids and rhamnolipids are used in personal care and cosmetics products such as shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, face washes, creams, body wash, facial cleansers, lotions, and others. Hence, the strong growth of the personal care & cosmetics industry is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the Asia Pacific sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market during the forecast period.
