Pore strips are adhesive strips that are used to remove blackheads from the skin and to shrink pores present on the skin. The formation of blackheads starts when the oil in the pores of the skin comes in contact with the oxygen present in the air. Pore strips are easy to use and are painless. The alternatives of pore strip such as scrubs requires few hours to get the desirable results, as it is a lengthy process that consists of several steps. Thus, pore strips require less time and are very effective, hence it is anticipated that this will boost the product demand in the coming years, particularly among the millennials.
The growth of the market is expected to witness lucrative growth opportunities due to the booming retail channels from the leading brands like Shiseido Co., Sephora, and Estée Lauder. In addition, various retailers are setting up their business on the online platform because customers are now shifting towards online shopping. Also, customers get a number of variations for the same product offered by different brands. These factors are anticipated to fuel the pore strips market in the upcoming years. The growing demand for imported products and developing markets is expected to open new growth avenues for the online platform. In developing nations like India & China, customers mainly choose e-commerce companies like Flipkart in India and Tmall in China.

In addition, there are constant improvements done in the permanent and long-term skincare products that prevent skin from pollution, ultraviolet sun rays, and harmful environment. These improvements are possible due to swift growth in skincare technology. Nowadays, the sales of skincare have increased as teenagers and millennials are focusing on keeping their skin healthy and acne-free.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The effect of COVID-19 has been witnessed in several nations across the globe. Due to this, World Health Organization (WHO) announced it as a public health emergency. The governments of various nations declared lockdown, travel band, flight cancellation, and restricted all indoor & outdoor events. This led to hampering the supply chains of products. Several industries faced a slowdown in their business including the pore strips market. As lockdown was imposed during COVID-19, the manufacturing plants were closed, which led to hindering the supply chain of the pore strips market.
Moreover, the population was forced to stay at their home due to the COVID-19 guidelines, they started inclining towards homemade remedies due to the fear of getting infected, which resulted in declining the demand for pore strips, thereby hindered the growth of the pore strips market during the pandemic. Further, all parlors and beauty stores across the world were also closed, which is again attributed to the declined demand for these strips. However, it is estimated that in the post-COVID-19 period, the demand for pore strips will expand, especially through an e-commerce platform that is expected to open new growth avenues for the pore strips market in the coming years.
