Facial care includes skin-enhancing, attractiveness enhancing, and skin-healing activity. One of the crucial impact factors in the worldwide face care market is the shift in lifestyles in emerging nations, resulting from rapid urbanization, increase in awareness of facial care products, and rise in demand for facial care products. The short face product shelf-life, however, limits the market expansion. In recent years, facial care has grown in the cosmetics industry, covering categories such as body and facial, sun protection, and cleanser. More facial skincare companies and retailers implement technologies like virtual consultants to talk directly to customers in realtime, disclose their requirements and problems, advise goods, and assist them through the distribution process. The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19, has affected the facial care products market negatively. Consumers have shifted their focus to essential amenities from facial care products.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19, has affected the facial care products market negatively. Facial care products are personal hygiene products that help clean and repair facial skin. During the ongoing pandemic, the facial care product was not considered a necessary product. Therefore, the demand for face toner has decreased during these times.
- As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries to enforce lockdown, the supply and distribution chain had disrupted. The shifting of activities in operations and vendor operations impacted the production. Hypermarkets/supermarkets and convenience stores were closed, creating a gap in demand and supply.
- The production process for new batches of facial care products had become a challenge for companies due to the limited availability of labor, disruption in the supply chain of raw material, and logistic issue.
Top Impacting Factors
- Changes in lifestyle, rapid urbanization, and daily grooming habits have increased the demand for face toner over the past few years. Personal hygiene habit has majorly influenced the increased usage of face toner, forcing the companies to level up their production.
- The growing population and the urge of consumers to feel fresh all day has further fueled the demand for facial care products. The population in the rural area is also adapting the usage of facial care products, forcing the companies to shift their focus from metros to exploring the rural market.
- In developing economies, consumers of rural area are price-sensitive and opt for a low price product. On the other hand, the metropolitan population is interested in the high-priced product to satisfy their esteem needs. The demand for both types of products is forcing the companies to increase their production to meet the market demand and ensure there is no gap between demand and supply.
