Vegan Cosmetics Market Expected to Reach $28.5 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Vegan Cosmetics Market," The vegan cosmetics market size was valued at $16.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $28.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2031. Vegan cosmetics are made up of chemical compounds taken from natural or synthetic sources that do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. Ingredients produced from animals include honey, beeswax, lanolin, collagen, albumen, carmine, cholesterol, gelatin, and many others. Vegan cosmetics are also devoid of animal cruelty and testing. Vegan cosmetics are meant for personal care, skincare, face care, and hair care and are used to cleanse or protect the body or hair. Vegan cosmetics are used to enhance or modify a person's appearance (makeup) by hiding imperfections, accentuating natural features (such as brows and eyelashes), adding radiance to the face, or completely redefining the look.
Globally, consciousness regarding enhancement of the overall personality has increased significantly among individuals. An increase in disposable income has enabled individuals to spend more on vegan cosmetics products than they had in the past. Therefore, personal care products have witnessed significant demand globally. Even now, owing to the lack of awareness regarding health risks associated with synthetic/chemical-based cosmetics products, the demand for organic cosmetics products was limited. Most consumers are inclined toward organic and vegan cosmetics to reduce the health risk associated with synthetic personal care. Organic personal care and cosmetics are made from plant extract and natural ingredients and contain a minimal/low amount of synthetic ingredients. Thus, it does not show any adverse impact on the human body. Organic and vegan cosmetic products are perceived to be safer than chemical skincare products therefore the vegan cosmetics market opportunities for growth are expected to be rising.
The global vegan cosmetics market is expanding due to an increase in the vegan and vegetarian population, expansion of the vegan cosmetics business, and an increase in conformity with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) cruelty-free accreditation. Furthermore, the entry of international firms presents the global vegan cosmetics market opportunity for development. With the growing vegan population, global firms such as L’Oreal, Unilever, P&G, and others are believed to have prospects to enter the vegan cosmetics sector to meet the growing demand for vegan beauty goods. However, the high prices associated with these cosmetics, as well as the absence of common rules for vegan certification, are projected to stymie the vegan cosmetics market growth.
The demand for vegan color cosmetics is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the vegan cosmetics market forecast period, owing to the growing vegan and vegetarian population's purchasing power and the desire of young vegan women to associate their interest in fashion and makeup with products made without animal by-products. These aspects generate the profitable potential for multinational companies in the global vegan cosmetics market. Increased interest in fashion and beauty trends among young people in countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, and others has spurred vegan cosmetics market demand, which will propel the worldwide vegan cosmetics business.
