REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Markets for constituents that go into cosmetics and toiletries are undergoing significant changes. Some of this growth includes advanced delivery systems for formulations, newer methods for manufacturing ingredients, the growth of an aging and prosperous baby boomer population and their desire to look younger, advances in the science and development of new materials, the trend towards natural products over synthetic, the availability of cheaper raw materials, and increasing demand from the growing middle classes in developing countries like China and India. BCC Research has followed this industry for two decades and, because of these recent changes, presents a current and comprehensive report on the ingredients for cosmetics and toiletries.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The report contains:
- Global markets for ingredients used in cosmetics and toiletries.
- Analyses of both the end-use markets and the major types of materials, both synthetic and natural.
- The emerging trends and technological developments in the field.
- Information regarding the regulatory environment governing the industry and the typical testing used by manufacturers to comply with the regulations and to produce safe products.
- Profiles of major companies and their market shares.
- Important information about new formulations in the field and how they are being used.
