Mascara is typically a cosmetic product used to enhance the appearance of eyelashes. It comes in the form of a liquid or gel-like substance that is applied to the lashes using a brush or wand. Mascara is used to darken, lengthen, and volumize eyelashes, giving the eyes a more defined and dramatic look.

The mascara cream market, like other segments of the cosmetics and beauty industry, has experienced growth over the years and is likely to continue growing in the future due to increasing beauty consciousness, innovation in formulations, celebrity endorsements and social media influence, e-commerce growth, natural and organic trends and rising disposable income.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Market Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with mascara cream market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

Like many other industries, the cosmetics industry faced disruptions in its global supply chain due to lockdowns, restrictions, and disruptions in transportation. This affected the production and distribution of mascara creams, causing delays and shortages in some regions. During the pandemic, consumer behavior shifted significantly. Many people reduced their use of makeup products, including mascara, as they were staying at home more and had fewer social events to attend. This led to a temporary decline in demand for cosmetics. Consumers became more conscious of hygiene and safety in their beauty routines. Mascaras, like other makeup products, faced scrutiny regarding their safety and the potential for transmitting the virus. Companies had to adapt their packaging, marketing, and product formulations to address these concerns. The pandemic accelerated the trend towards clean and natural beauty products. Consumers became more aware of the ingredients in their cosmetics and preferred products that were perceived as safer and healthier for their skin. As lockdowns eased and vaccination efforts progressed, the cosmetics market, including mascara, began to recover.

LATEST TRENDS

Natural and Organic Formulations to Fuel Market Growth

Consumers were increasingly looking for natural and organic mascara creams that are free from harmful chemicals and preservatives.

Many consumers were prioritizing vegan and cruelty-free mascara products, reflecting a broader shift towards ethical and sustainable cosmetics. Mascara wand and brush designs were evolving to offer unique features such as different brush shapes and sizes to achieve specific lash effects, like volume, lengthening, and curling. There was a continued demand for waterproof mascaras that could withstand sweat, tears, and humid conditions. Long-lasting formulas that didn't smudge or flake throughout the day were also gaining popularity. Some brands were offering customizable mascara options, allowing consumers to choose the brush type, formula, and other features to cater to their specific preferences and needs.  Brands were making efforts to reduce their environmental impact by using sustainable packaging materials and promoting recycling. Refillable mascara containers were also emerging as an eco-friendly option.
