The global development of vegan consumerism, wherein people seek for cosmetics free of animal components and oppose animal cruelty, is one of the main drivers of industry increase. As a result, people who value ethics are driving a revolution in the cosmetics industry by choosing vegan goods.

Vegan cosmetics are those that are used for beautifying, maintaining cleanliness, or altering or improving the appearance of customers but do not contain any animal substances, such as collagen, beeswax, or any other type of ingredient. Among its main categories are items for skin care, hair care, and color cosmetics. Customers can readily obtain these products on the market through a variety of distribution channels, such as e-commerce, supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialized shops, and others.

In addition, the growing popularity of veganism has prompted producers to spend money on R&D and to introduce new products and their variations in order to satisfy the demand from customers who prefer vegan goods. For instance, to capitalize on the expanding demand for vegan cosmetics, particularly among millennial consumers, G&M, an Australian maker of beauty products, introduced vegan makeup in February 2021.

Furthermore, vegan cosmetics—including skin care, color cosmetics, hair care, and others—are fast becoming a necessary component of consumer grooming, particularly for Gen Z. This can be attributed to the growing consciousness among consumers about the advantages of utilizing vegan cosmetics due to its chemical-free and eco-friendly nature. Consequently, it is anticipated that this will accelerate market expansion in the years to come.

The ongoing COVID-19 epidemic has had a negative impact on the industry's growth. Due to social isolation and stay-at-home rules, the pandemic affected both the manufacture and sales of vegan cosmetics through offline and online channels. Due to the lockdown of major markets, there was no longer any demand from merchants for fresh orders, which significantly changed supply chains throughout the world.

In addition, The Vegan Society reports that in the United Kingdom, the number of people embracing veganism has increased by 350% in just ten years. Furthermore, sales of vegan cosmetics rose by 38% in the United Kingdom in 2018. Vegan Avenue reports that numerous businesses have disclosed a rise in consumer demand for these kinds of goods. For example, one of the top health and beauty stores in the UK, Superdrug, announced a 750% rise in demand for vegan cosmetics in 2019.

Market Restraining Factors:​

Limited Product Availability and Variety

• In compared to traditional cosmetics, the vegan cosmetics sector is characterized by a narrow range of available goods. Although there is a rising market for vegan cosmetics, there are still issues with product diversity and availability. The careful selection of synthetic or plant-based components to substitute for animal-derived compounds, which are frequently present in conventional cosmetic formulations, is necessary for vegan formulations. Manufacturers may find it difficult to source and formulate vegan substitutes that satisfy safety, performance, and legal criteria. Customers looking for vegan cosmetics may thus have fewer alternatives, especially in specific product categories or hues. Insufficient product availability and variety can discourage some customers from switching to vegan cosmetics or restrict their options, which could slow down the market's expansion.
