Description

The global cosmetic packaging market size reached USD 40.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 57.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.82% during 2025-2033. The market is growing due to a shift toward sustainable packaging, increased use of digital printing, and rising adoption of airless packaging solutions. These trends enhance sustainability, customization, and product protection, driving market demand and expanding brand capabilities in packaging innovation.

Cosmetic Packaging Market Trends:

Rising Shift Towards Sustainable Packaging

The cosmetics industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability, driven by consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. Brands are adopting biodegradable materials, recycled plastics, and refillable packaging to reduce their carbon footprint. This is escalating the cosmetic packaging market share. For example, in April 2024, GEKA introduced a post-consumer-recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) material for cosmetics packaging. This formulation-compliant material offers approximately 75% lower CO2 emissions, maintains color brilliance, and requires no changes in manufacturing processes, thereby providing a sustainable solution without additional costs for brands.

Increasing Use of Digital Printing

Digital printing technology is being embraced in the cosmetics packaging industry for its ability to create high-quality, customizable designs quickly and efficiently, which is contributing to cosmetic packaging market revenue. This technology allows for shorter production runs, making it ideal for limited-edition products and personalized packaging. It also reduces waste by enabling precise printing with minimal setup time and materials. For example, in March 2024, HP and Esko partnered to launch an integrated technology for digitally printed cosmetics packaging. This partnership enables faster, on-demand production, reducing lead times from months to weeks, and supports mass customization, thereby allowing brand owners to enhance consumer engagement and streamline packaging processes.

Growing Adoption of Airless Packaging Solutions

Airless packaging is increasingly used in cosmetics, especially in skincare, to protect products from contamination and oxidation. This type of packaging ensures the product's integrity by preventing air from entering the container, thus extending the shelf life of the product. This is escalating the cosmetic packaging market demand. For instance, in March 2024, APC Packaging launched the EcoReady All Plastic Airless Pump (EAPP) for skincare products. This innovative pump, made of polypropylene, features advanced airless technology, ensuring precise dispensing while eliminating the need for a metal spring.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
