COVID-19 Impact

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 lockdown has impacted the Cosmetics and Toiletries Chemicals Market. Strict lockdowns all over the world interrupted the entire supply and trade of raw materials, which in turn, resulted in slow developments, and manufacturing from Cosmetics & Skin Care industry. However, a slow recovery in new cosmetics, and skincare production has been witnessed across many countries around the world since 2020. According to recent research published on The Business Line, India reported a growth of around 20% on annual retail sales of cosmetics and other skincare products during the fourth quarter of 2020 and is expected to grow in the upcoming years. In this way, a slow and steady increase in production activities from Cosmetics & Skin Care industry will increase the demand for cosmetics chemicals required for the production of these cosmetics and skincare products. This will eventually lead to a slow and steady recovery of the market in the upcoming years.
