In fact, so many people want to know about the size of the global organic beauty market, that this is one of our most popular blog posts!
So to keep our information relevant and listing the correct figures, we’ve recently updated the information below to make sure it has the latest numbers for the global organic beauty market.
In 2015, Grand View Research announced that the global organic beauty market was likely to reach $15.98bn by 2020, as demand for organic skincare, haircare and colour cosmetics drives consumers to look for natural and organic labels.
Then in 2016, market analysis released by Persistence Market Research showed that with the year-on-year growth in organic beauty, the global market should be worth just under $22bn by 2024. Those figures suggest approximate growth of 8-10% per year. The current natural and organic beauty market is estimated to reach the value of US$ 11,057.1 Mn in 2016, which means that analysts expects the market’s value to double in the next 8 years.
As it turns out, growth more than doubled. The global natural cosmetics market is estimated to be worth $36bn in 2019 and is now predicted to grow to $54bn by 2027. London-based analysts Future Market Insights have put out a 2019 report to predict this latest boom, based on shifting consumer perceptions around natural ingredients in their cosmetics.
The growth of the global natural and organic personal care product market is driven by factors such as the expansion of distribution channels, increasing online customer reach, and modern retailers’ shift towards offering premium personal care products on shelves. Also, new product development, advertisements, and increasing spending capacity of consumers on premium products are primary factors driving overall growth of the global natural and organic personal care products market.
