November 23, 2012

Wellesley, Mass. – According to a new technical market research report, GLOBAL MARKETS FOR CHEMICALS FOR COSMETICS AND TOILETRIES (CHM018G) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global cosmetic and toiletry ingredients market was valued at nearly $18 billion in 2011 and should reach nearly $19.6 billion in 2013. Total market value is expected to reach $24.5 billion in 2018 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%.

The market for cosmetic and toiletry ingredients can be broken down into four ingredient types: specialty additives, processing aids, active ingredients, and other ingredients.

Specialty additives are expected to have a value of nearly $3.9 billion in 2013 and $4.9 billion in 2018, a CAGR of 4.7%.

As a segment, processing aids should total $3.2 billion in 2013 and $4 billion in 2018, a CAGR of 4.5%.

Active ingredients are expected to total nearly $2.2 billion in 2013 and nearly $2.7 in 2018, a CAGR of 4.3%.

There are thousands of companies, small and large, that manufacture ingredients for the cosmetics and toiletry industry. The industry, however, is dominated by a few large multinational companies that account for more than 50% of the total requirement of the ingredients for the industry. This report analyzes the various manufacturing aspects of the necessary ingredients, their functional properties, and the regulations governing their use. The report also studies the global and regional market for these ingredients, the major manufacturers involved, and their market shares.

In this report, the recommendations of the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) were taken into account to establish the usefulness of each ingredient used in the cosmetic and toiletry industry. The CIR was established in 1976 by the industry trade association (then the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, now the Personal Care Products Council), with the support of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Consumer Federation of America.  Although funded by the council, the CIR and the review process are independent from both the council and the cosmetics industry.
