Social Media Influence and Celebrity Endorsement Drives Asia Pacific Cosmetic Preservatives Market

Market players increasingly prefer social media platforms to promote their skincare and makeup products instead of traditional commercial advertising. YouTube videos and celebrity promotions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and various other social media platforms have significantly impacted the demand for skincare and makeup products across the globe. Skincare influencers on Instagram, including skin doctors or dermatologists, natural and organic skincare promoters, and skincare routine professionals, upload a wide diversity of content on their accounts, which further influences consumers to buy cosmetics and personal care products.

They share daily skincare rituals, reviews on various products they use, tips and tricks on how to apply products optimally, and trusted brand endorsements and recommendations. Further, social media influencers collaborate with skincare and cosmetic brands. As a result, influencers are becoming conduits for customer feedback, shaping brand perception.

Various celebrities across the globe own their own skincare and makeup brands, such as Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez, Fenty by Rihanna, Honest Beauty by Jessica Alba, Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross, and Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner. The past four years have seen an increase in the number of celebrities launching their own brands. In June 2023, Beyoncé revealed on Instagram that she is starting a hair care product line in the coming years.

In addition, with increasing demand for skincare and makeup products, various celebrities in the Indian film industry are launching skincare brands. For instance, Deepika Padukone launched a skincare brand, 82° E, in 2022. The brand offers skincare products such as toners, cleansers, moisturizers, eye creams, and sunscreens. Recently, the brand introduced a line of body care products.

Thus, the rising influence of social media platforms and celebrity endorsement is expected to create a huge opportunity for the cosmetic preservatives market growth during the forecast period.
