In 2024, the global dermacosmetics market generated approximately USD 74.6 billion in revenue, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period, aiming to reach USD 115.2 billion by 2030. This growth is mainly driven by rising consumer purchasing power, increasing spending on appearance enhancement, a higher prevalence of skin conditions, and a growing number of conferences promoting dermacosmetics awareness.
Strategic partnerships and acquisitions are enhancing the accessibility of advanced dermacosmetics. For instance, Pierre Fabre Group's acquisition of the MêME brand, which specializes in skin, nail, and scalp care products, and Puig’s majority stake acquisition in Loto del Sur to further its global expansion, demonstrate the market's dynamic nature.
The rise in global disposable income has empowered consumers to invest more in dermacosmetics, which are effective in addressing issues like acne, aging signs, and dull skin, leading to increased self-confidence. Well-informed consumers are now willing to spend on luxury brands such as M.A.C. Cosmetics, Clinique (Estee Lauder Companies Inc.), Kiehl’s, and Clarisonic (L’Oreal S.A.) to improve their skin health.
