MARKET GROWTH FACTORS
The surge in online beauty product sales is the main factor that leads to the growth of the cosmetic packaging market. This trend facilitates consumer access to and demand for different packaging formats. Besides that, the industry is collectively focusing on reducing packaging waste and emissions, which not only helps in adopting environmentally friendly practices but also encourages market demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
Packaging personalization and customization are the main factors that will drive the market to its peak of potential. Consumers are willing to pay more for the packaging that reflects the identity of the brand and their preferences and thus creates a better user experience. By this trend, companies have to innovate to keep up with the tech adoption accelerated by digital printing techniques, which allows short runs and tailor products efficiently.
One of the most significant moves toward the skincare products market is by the use of airless packaging. Airless packaging is a method of packaging that keeps the contents safe from contamination and oxidation which is one of the main reasons for shelf life extension and product consistency assurance. With the help of technological advancements and material innovations such as polypropylene airless pumps, which can dispense without the use of metal components, are facilitating the sustainability and functionality of the product while being more user friendly.
