The expanding personal care and cosmetic industry is expected to drive the growth of the lip care products packaging market in the coming years. The personal care and cosmetic industry comprises skincare, haircare, makeup, fragrance, and hygiene products focused on beauty and wellness. Growth in the personal care and cosmetic industry is being supported by increasing consumer awareness of skincare and beauty, fueled by rising disposable incomes and growing self-care trends. Lip care product packaging supports the personal care and cosmetics sector by improving product attractiveness, protection, and sustainability to align with evolving consumer expectations. For example, in 2023, according to Cosmetics Europe, a Belgium-based trade association, the cosmetics and personal care market in Europe reached $104 billion (€96 billion) in retail sales value, up from approximately $95 billion (€88 billion) in 2022. Therefore, the expansion of the personal care and cosmetic industry is contributing to the growth of the lip care products packaging market.

Sustainable and refillable packaging is transforming the market. Leading companies in the lip care products packaging sector are focusing on eco-friendly packaging solutions such as reusable aluminum cases, which help reduce plastic waste and cater to the rising consumer demand for environmentally conscious products while also enhancing brand image through innovative designs. A reusable aluminum case is a sustainable and long-lasting packaging option made of aluminum, designed to be refilled and reused multiple times, thereby minimizing the need for single-use plastic. For instance, in January 2023, Above & Beyond, a UK-based beauty brand, introduced a refillable lip balm in a sturdy aluminum case, accompanied by refill pods made from Sulapac's industrially compostable and biodegradable bio-based material. This initiative addresses the pressing need to cut down plastic waste, specifically targeting the elimination of over 600 million plastic lip balms that end up in landfills every year. The brand's strategy aligns with its broader vision of creating a "refillable universe" through eco-friendly product innovation.

In November 2024, Amcor, an Australian packaging company, acquired Berry Global for $8.4 billion.

The merger is expected to yield $650 million in annual cost synergies within three years, primarily through operational improvements. Additionally, it strengthens Amcor's sustainability efforts by leveraging Berry’s expertise in advanced recycling and material innovation. Berry Global, a U.S.-based packaging manufacturer, also produces packaging for lip care products.
