We also take a close look in this issue at the booming Color Cosmetics category—and the inspiring packaging that’s leading the way forward.

A recent report from Markets and Markets found that the global cosmetic packaging market size is projected to grow from $49.4 billion in 2020 to $60.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.03% from 2020 to 2025.

Both prestige and mass market beauty were two of the top five fastest growing areas across all of retail in 2023, according to Circana. Looking at unit sales performance, prestige beauty is the standout, but whether mass or prestige, Larissa Jensen, Senior Vice President, Global Beauty Industry Advisor at Circana—and a member of Beauty Packaging’s Board of Advisors—says while “designer makeup brands, which are priced about 75% higher than the rest of the category, have been growing at a faster rate than total makeup, there’s been a consumer shift to value, with less expensive yet fun segments like lip products.” 

Mintel’s Joan Li, Senior Analyst, Beauty and Personal Care, has also seen the shift. “In a cost-conscious environment, value is the name of the game, and there are many ways to play. In a competitive landscape, brands shouldn’t forget that emotive benefits, too, can drive value, and strengthened ties to well-being themes will bolster the category as a whole.”

Color Cosmetics is also one of the hottest categories for innovative, fun packaging. Take Bobbi Brown’s tokidoki eye shadow palette that landed multiple NJPEC awards.
