The medicated personal care products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.56 billion in 2024 to $9.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to an increase in dermatological conditions, a growing geriatric population, the expansion of pharmaceutical retail chains, a surge in cosmetic dermatology procedures, and heightened awareness of health and wellness.
The medicated personal care products market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing consumer awareness of skin health, a rising prevalence of skin conditions, growing demand for men’s grooming products, a surge in personalized skincare preferences, and a higher incidence of skin disorders. Key trends expected during this period include an emphasis on microbiome-friendly formulations, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for personalized product recommendations, the emergence of hybrid products that combine cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, a shift toward clean labels and ingredient transparency, and the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions.
The increasing prevalence of skin disorders is expected to drive the growth of the medicated personal care products market in the coming years. Skin disorders are conditions that impact the appearance, structure, or function of the skin, including issues such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. This rise in skin disorders is largely attributed to increased exposure to environmental pollutants, which can penetrate the skin barrier and lead to irritation, inflammation, and chronic conditions. Medicated personal care products are formulated with active ingredients that target these affected areas, helping to reduce inflammation, irritation, or infection while supporting the healing process and improving overall skin health. For example, in July 2024, Cancer Research UK, a UK-based cancer research organization, reported that the average annual number of new melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK is projected to grow from approximately 20,800 in 2023-2025 to around 26,500 in 2038-2040. This rising trend in skin disorders is contributing to the expansion of the medicated personal care products market.
Leading companies in the medicated personal care products market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as antibacterial liquid soaps to enhance germ protection and deliver a more effective yet gentle cleansing experience for consumers. Antibacterial liquid soap is a medicated formulation that includes chemical agents specifically designed to kill or inhibit bacterial growth on the skin, thereby reducing infection risk and promoting hygiene. For example, in April 2023, Dettol, a UK-based hygiene brand, launched a reformulated version of its original liquid hand wash. The new formula provides 99.99% germ protection along with a moisture seal benefit. It features improved ingredients and has been dermatologically tested to ensure it is gentle on the skin, leaving hands feeling soft and nourished after each wash. This reformulation aims to offer a more efficient and skin-friendly hand hygiene solution.
In December 2023, Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting, an India-based personal care products company, acquired the brands Jo, Doy, and Bacter Shield from VVF Limited for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is intended to expand and diversify Wipro’s personal wash portfolio by incorporating these well-established brands, thereby enhancing its market presence and driving growth in key regional markets. VVF Limited is an India-based manufacturer of medicated personal care products.
