Why Meeting Demand From Millennial Are Key To Market Growth?

New age contract producers strive for greater flexibility and responsiveness to spur the market growth

Consumers of all ages are showing a deeper interest in the contents and ingredients used in the grooming and personal care products they use. This is especially the case among millennial consumers, who are leading the path by exhibiting the demand for extremely safe and high-quality products.

Many companies are therefore focusing to meet the demand for hyper-personalized products such as paraben-free cosmetics, creating a need for high-quality and safe content. The Environmental Working Group created a database in 2004 called the Skin Deep Database which tests and rates over 70,000 personal care products. The database was the first third-party resource to investigate the toxicity of products.

The growing trends from the customers are not only to seek the details of the content within the product but also innovative and distinctive packaging, which includes new shapes, sizes, and colors. New age contract manufacturers are aiming at flexibility and improved responsiveness to keep pace with changing requirements of consumers.

How is Growing Inclination towards Herbal Products Creating Opportunities?

Natural products continue to be popular among consumers, resulting in rapid market growth

In recent times, there is a huge demand for natural/herbal beauty products from consumers, hence herbal ingredients are increasingly used in various cosmetics and personal care products. The herbal cosmetics and personal care industry is growing at a rate of ~25-30% every year.

Companies are focusing on replacing synthetic chemicals with natural ingredients, primarily because of growing consumer demand and also to move towards a viable source of raw material. While natural products remain highly popular among consumers, many are choosing locally sourced and produced personalized products. This is creating a significant amount of pressure on manufacturers and making them focus on large-scale production of herbal cosmetics to fulfill consumer needs.

To cater to this ongoing demand organizations are shifting their manufacturing processes to third party CMOs, which in turn help to accelerate the growth of the CMOs in the cosmetics and personal care sector. CMOs allow companies to focus on their core competencies and rapid production while saving production costs. These companies have a recognized vendor directory, a storage list, huge manufacturing facilities, and distribution channels. For these features, the demand for third party manufacturing including herbal cosmetics is increasing day by day.
