Waterless Cosmetics Market Size is valued at USD 9.78 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 23.60 Bn by the year 2031 at a 11.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Waterless cosmetics are products formulated without water. They use oils, butter, and powders to provide hydration, nourishment, and cosmetic benefits. By omitting water, these products often have longer shelf lives and can be more concentrated with active ingredients. Examples include oil-based serums, solid balms, powder foundations, and solid shampoos. Waterless cosmetics are eco-friendly, reduce packaging waste, and are convenient for travel.
The waterless beauty trend is rapidly increasing because of the potency of skincare and cosmetics products. It is one of the key factors for the growing availability of waterless cosmetics. The Waterless Cosmetics Market is experiencing rapid growth driven by the increasing demand for eco-friendly beauty products. Waterless cosmetics, which do not contain water as an ingredient, offer benefits such as longer shelf life, concentrated formulas, and reduced environmental impact. Consumers are increasingly seeking alternatives that minimize water usage and pollution.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the Waterless Cosmetics Market. While it disrupted supply chains and production, it also increased consumer demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products. The pandemic boosted online sales, as physical stores were forced to close. However, the overall long-term outlook for the market remains positive.
The Waterless Cosmetics Market is segmented by product type, consumer orientation, price range and sales channel. By product type, the market is divided into skincare, hair care, cosmetics, and others. On the basis of consumer orientation, the market is divided into men, women, and unisex. On the basis of sales channels, the market is divided into wholesalers/distributors, specialty stores, departmental stores, hypermarkets/supermarkets, online retail, and other retail formats. As per the price range, the market is categorized into Economy (Below US$30), Mid-Range (US$30 to US$60) and Premium (Above US$60).
Within the skincare category, players offer waterless products like creams, serums, lotions, cleansers, etc. Moreover, the demand for skin care products is comparatively higher than that of cosmetics and hair care. This is a significant reason that the skincare category has held a good value share in the market.
In terms of consumer orientation, women are expected to hold a significant share. Women are more beauty-conscious than men and value beauty products. Furthermore, their purchase frequency and spending on beauty products are also comparatively higher. These factors have resulted in the women's category holding a good share of the waterless cosmetics market.
The North America Waterless Cosmetics Market dominates the market in the forecast period, attributed to Beauty bloggers, experts, and influencers playing a key role in shaping consumers' beauty regimens and product preferences. Beauty influencers and bloggers have gained popularity, and their ability to connect with their followers has propelled the market. The rising demand for organic and chemical-free skincare and cosmetics will aid the country's overall expansion. Waterless cosmetics are without harmful preservatives, resulting in less skin irritation. It is one of the significant factors behind the growing preference for waterless cosmetics in the region. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate in the global Waterless Cosmetics Market due to rapid industrialization, government initiatives, and increasing funding in various industries.

The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
