As consumer demand for personal care and cosmetic products continues to increase, the need for specialty active ingredients also rises. Globally, consumers have become more concerned about both their health and the environment, which drives demand for natural, clean-label, and sustainable ingredients. This analysis assesses the growth opportunities for a set of highly specialized active ingredients in the global personal care and cosmetics sector.

Geographically, this analysis covers North America; Europe; Asia-Pacific; and Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa (LAMEA). Asia-Pacific was the highest revenue-generating region in the specialty active ingredients and cosmetics industry in 2021, owing to significant demand from high-growth economies such as South Korea, Japan, China, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Moreover, with the increasing penetration of Korean beauty (K-beauty) and Japanese (J-beauty) brands in North America and Europe, this global space is poised to experience steady growth during the forecast period.
