The Global Personal Care Packaging Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Rapid Increase in Product Innovation, Designing, and Investments by Several Organizations
The
personal care packaging industry is segmented according to material, which
consists of plastic, glass, aluminum, and many others. Glass accounts for the
biggest market share as it's easily cleaned, hygienic, and has a low cost.
Plastic, on the other hand, is the most convenient, durable, and affordable
option. It's very economical and lasts longer than glass or aluminum. Though
it's relatively heavier, plastic is light and easy to handle, making it one of
the preferred packaging options for cosmetic products.
Though
plastic containers are quite popular, there are several disadvantages that have
been pointed out by experts in the industry. They argue that the high density
of plastic makes it more prone to breaking, especially with sharp objects.
Another major problem with plastic is that it doesn't allow oxygen to
penetrate. This can affect the shelf life of many cosmetic products, which are
mainly made up of petroleum jelly, baby oil, mineral oil, and similar
materials.
The
increasing rate of product designing and innovation is estimated to augment the
growth of the global personal
care packaging market. For instance, according to TechNavio, the global
personal care packaging market generates around US$ 3.91 billion. Moreover, the
inclination towards personal care products among consumers is expected to drive
the market growth of the global personal care packaging market.
However,
there are solutions to all these problems, as plastic bottles can now be custom
molded to meet specific requirements. Customized, seamless bottles and
containers with custom seals provide the right solution to various challenges.
These customized bottles and containers for personal care products enable
skincare brands to benefit from the latest technology in packaging while
maintaining the characteristic style and flair that their skincare products
deserve. However, the price of raw materials that are used in the packaging and
manufacturing of products is the main restraining factor, which is acting as
the main threat to the growth of the global personal care packaging market.
Plastic packaging materials are developed from crude oil and the void in the
demand and supply of crude oil owing to economic factors is affecting the total
price of the raw materials. Hence the differences in the price of raw materials
are restricting the market growth.
Owing
to the increase in usage of fragrances, personal care products, and cosmetics
in North America, the region is witnessing high demand in the global personal
care packaging market. For instance, according to research in 2018 by the
Brazilian Association of the Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics, North
America has the most significant cosmetic industry in the world, which
generates a revenue of around US$ 89.5 billion every year. Moreover, the
presence of key market players in the region is accelerating the growth of the
global market. Owing to these factors, there have been significant key
developments in the global market. For instance, in March 2020 Aptar developed
the first certified beauty packaging from recycled plastic.
