Global Anti-acne Cosmetics makeup Market; By Product Type (Masks, Creams & Lotions), By Gender (Women, and Men); By End-Use (Dermatology Clinics, and MedSpa); as well as By Region and Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast: 2023-2032

Report Overview

The Global Anti-acne Cosmetics makeup Market size is expected to be worth around USD 9.58 Billion by 2032 from USD 3.9 Billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2032.

The negative stigma attached to acne and the increased usage of cosmetics by both men and women, particularly in emerging economies, are predicted to be the main drivers for market expansion. The COVID-19 outbreak caused the aesthetics sector to suffer serious setbacks. Lockdowns forced the closure of retail stores, dermatology offices, and beauty parlors & medical spas in numerous nations. By 2020, internet sales of anti-acne makeup rose exponentially as a result of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.

Market Dynamics:

Market growth was accelerated by the fact that acne incidence increased during the pandemic. Acne is a common skin condition among adolescents. The Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology published an article that stated that acne affects more than 95% of adolescents and nearly 85% of girls. Nearly 40% of those affected have moderate-to-severe skin conditions, and almost half continue to suffer from acne into adulthood.

Market growth is expected to be fueled by the high prevalence of acne in young people. Anti-acne products in the U.S. are expected to increase at a substantial CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and poor quality of life are all common issues for acne patients. These mental and emotional associations can be linked to an individual’s relationship with their appearance.

A study published in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology found that women suffering from moderate or severe acne experience decreased self-esteem and embarrassment. These psychological issues will likely drive market growth by causing patients to seek cosmetic treatments to improve their appearance. The increasing use of photo editing and social media platforms indirectly fuels these psychological effects.

Driver:

Technological innovations are driving an increase in acne vulgaris prevalence

Acne is the most common skin-related problem in teenagers and all age groups. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association acne is the most widespread skin condition. It affects approximately 40- 50 million people every year. According to U.K. government statistics, 95% of people suffer from acne between the ages of 11. and 30. Globally, anti-acne cosmetics market revenue is expected to rise due to rapid urbanization.

Market growth can also be attributed to technological advances in the production of anti-acne products. Galderma’s ‘Twyneo Cream’ was launched in the U.S. at the American Academy of Dermatology on 25 March 2022. Twyneo Cream, a 2-in-1 formulation containing 0.1% tretinoin (0.1% BPO) and 3% Benzoyl Oxide (3% BPO), has been effective in treating mild to severe acne. The patented microencapsulation technology combines these two previously unrelated chemicals. The controlled release is claimed to produce visible results in two weeks.

Companies are also taking different strategic initiatives in order to increase market penetration. Companies are now investing more in Research and Development (R&D), product launches, and upgrading existing product lines. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, for example, reported on 26 July 2022 that their collaboration with Cassiopea regarding medicine for acne had been extended.

Cassiopea has granted the company the exclusive right to market WINLEVI throughout Japan, Australia New Zealand, Brazil Mexico, Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. Cosmo will likely make the new acne treatment more accessible to patients in other countries. This is consistent with their strategy to build a global range of specialty products.

Restraint:

The easy availability of counterfeit products and rising awareness of side effects

Acne-prone skin can be sensitive and some cosmetics may make their condition worse. Experts from the American Academy of Dermatology say that patients suffering from acne can use makeup. Many people suffering from acne-related conditions don’t prefer to wear makeup, as their skin remains under medication. Some side effects of makeup for acne-prone skin include skin redness, increased sun sensitivity, dry and peeling skin, as well as skin rashes. Anti-acne cosmetics are not recommended by consumers. Anti-acne market growth is severely impacted by such stereotypes and beliefs.

A major reason for market revenue stagnation is also the existence of cheap counterfeit anti-acne cosmetic products. The skin of acne-prone people is extremely sensitive. When they purchase fake products, the condition becomes worsened which can lead to skin problems. The U.S. Department of State states that fake cosmetics can be found online as well as in pop-up shops across the country.

Many people are deceived into thinking they are buying genuine cosmetics by the frequent use of designer brands and camouflage. These products are fake and can contain harmful elements such lead, beryllium, or dangerous germs. The company claims that it will only sell La Roche-Posay products marked ‘Ships and Sold By Amazon.com’ in order to ensure customers are getting genuine La Roche-Posay products. This is Impact the revenue growth in anti-acne cosmetics.

Global Anti-Acne Cosmetics Makeup Market Scope:

Type Analysis

Masks, creams & lotions, and cleansers & toners are the three product categories that this market is segmented into. In 2021, creams & lotions accounted for 41.44% of this market’s total revenues.
