INTRODUCTION

The global cosmetics and toiletries market has been affected by the recent global economic downturn.  Difficulty in obtaining credit has affected consumer spending on cosmetics and toiletries.  Consumers in emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil are generally not subject to such credit squeezes as those in developed countries.  The presence of large domestic markets has cushioned these developing economies from the economic crisis.  The cosmetics and toiletries market in emerging economies is still in its development stage, and thus it promises dynamic growth in coming years.  This is likely to offset the downward trend in the developed countries.  Therefore, the overall the global market for cosmetics and toiletries seems to be poised for modest growth in the coming years. 

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

There are thousands of ingredients used in the formulation of cosmetic and toiletry products, including numerous chemicals and biological ingredients.  The basic composition of any cosmetic product is often similar, but the formulators change the ingredients depending on the final market and the customers’ preferences.  This report will analyze the various chemicals and other ingredients used in these cosmetic and toiletry products, and also study the global and regional market for the major ingredients in cosmetic and toiletry products.  It will also forecast the future demand for these ingredients.  There are various new developments in the technology used to manufacture these ingredients, and the report will study these developments and the future expected technological trends.

REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

Continuous improvements are being made in the quality of cosmetic and toiletry products as the major manufacturers try to keep pace with the consumer preferences and market needs.  Also, companies are developing new ingredients and methods to stay ahead of the competition.  Demands for various ingredients vary depending on the growth of different products emanating from new research regarding ingredients.  Thus, there is need for a report that takes these constant changes into account and updates the global market consumption figures for the various ingredients.  

SCOPE AND FORMAT

This report studies both the global and regional markets for ingredients used in the cosmetic and toiletries industries.  It also analyzes these markets by end-use application and major materials types.  New patents and technological developments covered by these patents indicate the dynamic nature of the industry, and an analysis of these patents has been made in the report.  As the newer ingredients increase in number, various regulatory and environmental issues are cropping up, and these issues must be addressed.  A study has been made of the existing regulations in this report.  Profiles of major end-user companies are also included, along with their market shares in their respective operation segments.
