What are the Strategies of Manufacturers to Increase Market Sales of Mascara Applicators?

As the cosmetics industry continues to develop and more types of mascara become available, the demand for mascara applicators will increase. In addition, the increase in demands has also led to innovations in mascara applicators. Several companies from South Korea and France are seen launching new mascara applicators on the market. Applicators designed for the newly launched products focus on the maximum effect of application with an easy interface. Furthermore, there is a research project that is being done for the development of soft and even bristles for the mascara applicator. However, it is imperative to have access to new products in the local communities.

With the growth of disposable incomes and the increase in the use of cosmetics among millennials globally, the demand for mascara applicators will likely increase over the next few years. With global demand growing for volumizing mascaras with eyelash thickening properties, the market share for volumizing mascara applicators is on the rise.

Increasing sales of makeup and branded mascara products have driven market demand for organic micro brushes. Additionally, manufacturers are coming up with products to reach consumers with more cost-effective prices, in order to become more competitive on the market. As the number of beauty and wellness websites continues to increase, this has resulted in a rise in the demand for mascara applicators in the marketplace.  

Innovative, easy-to-use, trendy designs of applicators and innovations in technology will contribute to additional developments in the market for various different types of applicators.  For instance, Estee Lauder and Lancome, and Givenchy launched their own versions of vibrating mascaras that are equipped with a brush that vibrates at 125 micropulse per second.

What Barriers does the Mascara Applicators Industry Face?

Growing market demand for voluminous eyelashes products and their brushes has increased market demand for mascara applicators in the market. However, these brushes also come with a number of limitations when it comes to the development of mascara applicators for the market. The popularity of mascaras in the market has decreased recently due to a growing number of skin irritations and eye infections, which has, in turn, reduced the popularity of mascara applicators on the market. 

In recent years the threat of microbial organisms and the wide use of chemicals over plastic bristles have been getting bigger and bigger, leading to greater risks of infections. Technologies in makeup applicators come with safety issues and a chance to damage the eyes.  Hence, this is estimated to act as a significant growth barrier in the mascara applicators market over the next few years.
