APAC to drive global halal cosmetics and personal care market through to 2022

Source: Technavio, via Businesswire. Infographic on the global halal cosmetics and personal care market 2018-2022.

Technavio forecasts that the global halal cosmetics and personal care market to grow at a CAGR of 13.55% from 2018 to 2022. To calculate market size, the company considered the revenue generated from the sales of halal cosmetics and personal care through online and offline channels.

A key factor driving growth is the rising Muslim population worldwide. Technavio said an increase in demand from the growing Muslim population and rising awareness of halal cosmetics and personal care products are pushing demand up.  Improved standardisation and certifications are another market driver.

As the Asia Pacific region (APAC) is home to more than 55% of the Muslim population, the region is experiencing a relatively higher demand for halal cosmetics and personal care products. EMEA led the market in 2017 with a global halal cosmetics and personal care market share of close to 52%. During the forecast period, the APAC region is expected to register the highest incremental growth, while the other two regions will witness a decline in their market shares.

Brands listed in the report include: 

• Amara Halal Cosmetics
• Ivy Beauty Corporation
• Martha Tilaar Group
• PT Paragon Technology and Innovation, the parent company for Wardah
• Total Beauty Network, parent company of Inika
• WiproEL

Vendors in the market are trying to capitalise on the demand for halal personal care and grooming products for men. Although many vendors manufacture halal cosmetics and personal care products for women, not many cater to men. Segment categories include skincare products, haircare products, and fragrances. Celebrity endorsements are also encouraging men to use personal care and grooming products.

“Presently, Millennial Muslim consumers are becoming conscious of their looks and appearance, propelling an interest in personal grooming among young men. This expands the consumer base of the market. Therefore, the interest in personal grooming is expected to spike the volume sales of halal cosmetics and personal care products during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.

As halal cosmetics and personal care become more popular, the counterfeiters will also have a field day, Technavio warns.

786 Cosmetics offers halal nail polish

786 Cosmetics was established in March 2017 to provide beauty products for Muslim women, and began international shipments in August 2017. The company has come up with a halal nail polish formulation that does not contain or harm any animals, and which allows water to seep through the paint.

"Our biggest client base is international, which was a huge surprise for us. We have so many people from around the world who want colours because they're named after their homeland or their favourite city. It just gives us the motivation to keep providing more and more colour choices inspired by the places we come from and love!" says Iqra, one of the founders of the brand.

"Contrary to popular belief being water permeable does not make our nail polish chip and peel easily. Actually quite the opposite, unlike other nail polishes our non-peelable formula lasts anywhere from 7 to 10 days with just one use!" states 786 Cosmetics on their website.

Experimentally, the company has placed a nail polish film sample into a diffusion chamber such that it separates the two halves of the chamber. When oxygen flows into the top of the chamber, an oxygen-free carrier gas can be demonstrated to flow into the other half of the film. The experiment has been conducted according to ASTM D 3985 and ISO 15105-2 standards, which it says are more exacting than coffee filter paper tests. Filter paper tests have been done by competitors to demonstrate the water permeability of their nail polishes.

There are eight colours available for sale online, ranging from white, browns, mint, purple, pink and red, plus a clear top coat. Each colour is inspired by a Muslim city. Two of the colours are limited edition - Kashmir is inspired by "tea pink" Kashimiri chai, while Abu Dhabi echoes the white marble of the Grand Mosque. At the time of writing the red shade, Marrakech, was out of stock. 

The company recommends that the each painted nail be rubbed underwater at least once during wudu (الوضوء).

Global halal cosmetics market to be worth over US$50 billion by 2025

The global halal cosmetics market is expected to reach US$52.02 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research. Awareness levels of Muslim populace regarding the ingredients used in cosmetic and personal care formulations will determine the industry's future growth trajectory, the research firm said.

The buying clout of the Islamic population has pushed the mainstream beauty industry to concentrate on product offerings that are halal-certified. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for these goods in keeping with their ethical beliefs, Grand View Research says.

Countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia offer tremendous opportunities as a result of Islam being the predominant religion and socioeconomic growth. In fact, Malaysia and Indonesia together accounted for nearly 60% of Asia Pacific revenue in 2015, with skincare and makeup being the dominant products consumed. Malaysia is also home to brands such as SimplySiti and IVY Beauty. 

Key findings:

- Asia Pacific, accounting for nearly 45% of the global Muslim population, was the dominant region and accounted for nearly three-quarters of the overall revenue in 2015.

- Countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Maldives are characterised by considerable Muslim population and improving socioeconomic conditions.

- The Middle East is also an important consumer hub for the industry, particularly considering high income levels in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and

- The haircare segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% in terms of revenue over the forecast period.

In view these evolving consumer requirements, manufacturers are trying to comply with Islamic code of law by incorporating more ingredients that are in compliance with shari'ah law.

Major companies in the beauty space include Clara International, INIKA, Talent Cosmetic, MMA Bio Lab, The Halal Cosmetics Company, Saaf Skincare, Prolab Cosmetics, Martha Tilaar Group, and IBA Halal Care.

Global halal cosmetics market to have a CAGR of nearly 15% by 2021

Amara Cosmetics, Inika, Martha Tilaar Group, MMA Bio Lab, and the Halal Cosmetics Company, are the key vendors in the global halal cosmetics market, says market analyst firm Technavio.The company predicts that the global halal cosmetics market will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of almost 15% by 2021.

Rising consumer awareness toward halal cosmetic products is one of the primary growth factors for this market. Due to the need to follow Islamic standards for halal certification of cosmetics, halal beauty products do not contain animal-derived ingredients or alcohol, Technavio said. They are considered to be more pure and hygienic compared to regular cosmetics, which increases their adoption rate among the non-Muslim population as well*, Technavio said. Furthermore, the growing awareness among the younger Muslim population across the globe about their religious obligations will also drive the growth of the halal cosmetics market.

This market research and analysis estimates that in terms of geographical regions, Asia Pacific (APAC) will be the major revenue contributor to the market throughout the predicted period. The presence of a large Muslim population in countries such as Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Bangladesh, the economic development of various countries in the region, and the increase in disposable income of consumers in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and India, will be major factors fuelling the growth of the halal skincare market in APAC during the next four years.
Competitive landscape and key vendors

The global halal cosmetics market is characterised by the presence of a number of well-established international and regional players and appears to be highly fragmented. The coming years will witness an increase in the adoption of halal makeup products by a wider audience, besides the Muslim community. This will induce halal cosmetics manufacturers to focus on introducing new products and enhance their customer base in various geographical regions. Vendors in the market mainly compete on various factors such as product pricing, quality, brand, and variety of product and deduce different strategies to increase their market shares. Additionally, to maintain their market dominance and improve their market positions, the leading halal cosmetics companies will also concentrate on acquiring new brands.

The report segments the halal cosmetics market into personal care and colour cosmetics. During 2016, the personal care segment dominated this market. Analysts predict that though the rise in availability of counterfeit products will affect the growth of this market segment, the increasing demand for high-quality cosmetics and the benefits of halal personal care products that are attracting the non-Muslim population will also fuel the growth in this market segment in the coming years.

Retail outlets such as department stores, hypermarkets, and supermarkets offer various halal cosmetic brands. Additionally, they also carry out various activities to promote the products to consumers. According to this market research study, this segment accounted for the major revenue shares and dominated the market during 2016.

Besides the leading vendors in the market, other prominent vendors in the market are Malaysia's Clara International, INGLOT Cosmetics, Ivy Beauty, Liasari, Muslimah Manufacturing, OnePure, Paragon Cosmetics, Pure Halal Beauty (PHB) Ethical Beauty, Saaf Skincare, Samina Pure Makeup (Sampure Minerals) and SirehEmas.

Some halal cosmetics may contain animal by-products, while some vegan products may not be halal.

Double-digit growth path for halal cosmetics

A report published by Allied Market Research, Halal Cosmetics Market by Type and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014-2022, predicts that the global market is expected to reach US$54.1 billion by 2022, up from US$20.2 billion in 2015, a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period (2014 to 2022).

The global halal cosmetics market is driven by rise in Muslim population globally and the booming halal market, which has now extended its traditional product base of food and beverages to meet the growing personal and beauty care needs of Muslim population. Halal certification enables Muslim population to identify the genuine products, thereby obeying the virtues of their religion, thereby fuelling the growth of the global halal cosmetics market.

However, rules and regulations as to whether an ingredient is halal varies across countries, which is thereby expected to hinder cosmetic companies planning to penetrate the global halal cosmetics market.

The demand for halal cosmetic products in the overall halal cosmetics industry is expected to be driven by increase in purchasing power of the growing Muslim population and significant desire among young Muslim women to associate their interest in fashion and makeup with Islamic religious loyalties. These factors also provide lucrative opportunities to the multinational cosmetic companies to enter the halal cosmetics market.

Countries such as KSA, Iran, UAE, Malaysia, and Indonesia offer potential growth opportunities for halal colour cosmetics products. The Latin America, Middle East and Africa region is expected to register the highest CAGR of 15.1% due to a larger Muslim population, especially in the Middle East; high purchasing power, and demand for personal and beauty care cosmetic products among Muslim consumers. 

The fragrance market is expected to register the top CAGR of 15.8% by segment in the halal cosmetics market, as Allied Market Research sees growing demand for attar* (عطار) sprays among Muslim consumers. The LAMEA region is expected to dominate the halal fragrance market due to growing populations in KSA, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain, and others; rise in purchasing power, and increased interest in personal grooming products that adhere to the Islamic virtues. The Asia Pacific region is also expected to grow significantly for halal fragrances, particularly driven by the Muslim population in nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and India.


Colour cosmetics** is the next-largest halal cosmetics market segment after fragrances. The colour cosmetics segment is expected to account for US$17.9 billion in 2022, up from US$6.6 billion in 2015, registering a CAGR of 15.3%. Halal colour cosmetics are widely adopted by Muslim women, especially the youth. The demand for halal colour cosmetics is expected to witness an upsurge due to rise in purchasing power and a desire to look trendy. Halal colour cosmetic products include lipsticks, hair colour, blushes, lip balms, and others. Muslim women are more particular about using halal colour cosmetics during Ramadhan as it is a time when people are reminded to be closer to the faith, and therefore religious rules.

Key findings include:

• The hair care segment generated the highest revenue in 2015, and is expected to grow at a  CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period.
• The personal care segment accounted for the highest revenue in 2015, and is expected to have a a CAGR of 14.6%.
• With growth in demand for e-commerce sales, the online distribution sales channel is expected to grow at the fastest rate of 18.2% by 2022.

Key players in the market include Amara Cosmetics, Iba Halal Care, Halal Cosmetics Company, Malaysia's Clara International, Inika, Wardah Cosmetics, PHB Ethical Beauty, Sampure Minerals, One Pure, Mena Cosmetics, and SaafSkinCare.

Halal cosmetics market to surpass US$52 billion by 2025

Source: Grand View Research. Regional share for halal cosmetics, 2015.

The global halal cosmetics market is expected to reach US$52.02 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research. The market once deemed to be niche, was worth US$14 billion in 2014 and is expected to double by 2020. It is expected to account for over 6% of the overall cosmetic industry in the same year.

The large Islamic population and their lifestyles has pushed the mainstream beauty-care industry to consider product offerings that are halal-certified, especially since consumers are willing to pay a premium price for these goods. 

Countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia offer tremendous opportunities for growth as they have sizeable Muslim populations experiencing socioeconomic growth. Products certified by recognized bodies, such as JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia), will also boost consumer confidence and further propel growth, says Grand View Research.

Malaysia and Indonesia together accounted for nearly 60% of the Asia Pacific revenue in 2015, with skincare and makeup being the dominant products consumed. Personal care and beauty-care launches in Malaysia outnumbered UK and Philippines, primarily due to local brands such as SimplySiti and IVY Beauty.

Key findings from the report suggest:

Asia Pacific was the dominant region, hosting nearly 45% of the global Muslim population and accounting for nearly three-quarters of the overall revenue in 2015.

Countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Maldives are characterised by considerable Muslim population numbers and improving socioeconomic conditions

The Middle East is also an important consumer hub for the industry, particularly considering high income levels in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Oman. 

Major players include Malaysia's Clara International, INIKA, Talent Cosmetic Company, MMA Bio Lab, The Halal Cosmetics Company, Saaf Skincare, Prolab Cosmetics, Martha Tilaar Group, and Iba Halal Care. Shiseido, a Japanese company sells 28 halal skin care products under the brand name Za. Colgate-Palmolive Company also offers toothpaste products which are halal certified.

Awareness levels of Muslim populace regarding the ingredients used in cosmetic and personal care formulations are to determine the industry's future growth trajectory. 

However, lack of standardised certification system is hampering the growth of the market. When manufacturers have to follow different standards in different countries, the process becomes complex and costly.

Halal Product Certification Bill in Indonesia expected to transform markets

Source: Wardah website. How to wear red lipstick.

Close to 90% of the population in Indonesia is Muslim and thus interested in halal certified products, notes Euromonitor in a blog post.

Halal beauty products was a relatively niche area until the end of the review period, said Euromonitor, naming Paragon Technology and Innovation as the most prominent player in this area at the end of 2015. Its Wardah brand in cosmetics and skincare has allowed the company to capitalise on the growing popularity of halal beauty products in 2015, with its value share reaching 2% that year.

Things are expected to change as Indonesia passed the Halal Product Certification Bill in September 2014 that stipulates all products, including beauty brands, must be halal-certified by 2019. This requirement covers product ingredients, production machinery and equipment, as well as the entire value-chain process, with international manufacturers consequently starting to work towards halal certification, Euromonitor notes.

Some early adopters include L’Oréal Indonesia, which built a manufacturing plant in Indonesia at the end of the review period and now has around 145 of its ingredients halal-certified so as to meet the needs of Indonesian consumers. Colgate-Palmolive is another early adopter, with the company launching a halal toothpaste featuring miswak (Editor's note: miswak [مسواك] refers to twigs from a particular tree that were traditionally used for cleaning the teeth).

Unilever Indonesia also joined this trend in 2015 with the launch of Sunsilk Clean & Fresh, which is targeted at women who wear hijabs daily. The company partnered with New York based Francesca Fusco, a leading scalp treatment specialist, to launch this new variant. Incorporating citrus vitamin complex, Sunsilk Clean & Fresh nourishes hair strands while offering a clean and fresh sensation for the scalp which helps hijab-wearers feel more comfortable.

According to Euromonitor, halal beauty products are expected to gain further prominence over the forecast period as a result of the implementation of the Halal Product Certification Bill. Manufacturers will have to move quickly to ensure their existing ingredients and products are compliant in the short-term. This is especially crucial for international giants, which dominate sales in multiple beauty and personal care categories. While coping with securing halal-certification for existing ingredients, international manufacturers will place a greater emphasis on steering ongoing product innovation efforts towards halal offerings.

The blog concludes that there is a window of opportunity for local brands such as Wardah to take advantage of the gap before international manufacturers obtain halal certification and start to capture the interest of local consumers. "This will have to be done through heavy marketing campaigns, including sampling, in order to create awareness among local consumers, given that sales of local halal beauty brands remained limited over the review period," states the blog post.

Halal cosmetics find favour in Southeast Asia

Halal products are witnessing increased demand in Southeast Asia, according to Halal Cosmetics Market: Asia Pacific Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015-2020, a Future Market Insights report.

According to FMI, tSoutheast Asia accounted for 61.2% share of the total Asia market, and FMI expects the region to remain lucrative during the forecast period.

The key factors fuelling the growth of halal cosmetics in Southeast Asia include increasing awareness about the transdermal nature of cosmetics, rise in personal grooming needs, demand for organic/vegan-friendly cosmetics, and strengthening of the distribution channels.

Key halal cosmetics companies are looking to consolidate their position in the highly lucrative market in Southeast Asia by widening their product offerings. The companies are leveraging the reach of social media to raise awareness about their products and connect with their target audience.

The Southeast Asia halal cosmetics market is currently valued at US$945.8 million, and FMI expects it to surpass US$1 billion by 2016. FMI said the market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2015 to 2020.

Consumer awareness about the use of porcine and other animal-derived ingredients in cosmetics is prompting Muslim consumers in Southeast Asia to opt for halal-certified cosmetics. Botox procedures in Malaysia and Indonesia have witnessed a drastic reduction owing to concerns about the source of ingredients used in some products, FMI adds.

Demand for halal skincare and halal colour cosmetics is robust in Southeast Asia. According to FMI, these two product segments accounted for over 70% share of the Southeast Asia halal cosmetics market in 2014.

According to FMI, colour cosmetics will remain the dominant product type in Southeast Asia halal cosmetics market, owing to strong demand for anti-ageing products. The colour cosmetics segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period and reach a valuation of US$641 million.

Demand for halal haircare is also anticipated to witness robust growth in Southeast Asia in the near future. According to FMI, the hair care segment will expand at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period and be valued at US$240.9 million by 2020.

Challenges for the market include a lack of standard certification guidelines, as rules and regulations concerning halal certification vary from country to country. 

Key players in the Southeast Asian halal cosmetics market include Martha Tilaar Group, Wipro Unza, Clara International, Ivy Beauty Corporation, and Paragon Technology and Innovation.

Martha Tilaar Group has a strong presence in halal skin care, colour cosmetics, and haircare segment. The company has built a positive perception among consumers in Indonesia.

FMI forecasts that the halal cosmetics market in Asia Pacific will witness a 9.9% CAGR from 2015 to 2020. “As more consumers in Asia Pacific gain awareness about the ingredients used in conventional cosmetics and their transdermal nature, demand for halal cosmetics will increase. This will prompt manufacturers to diversify their product offerings and introduce halal-certified products in the market,”, says a spokesperson from FMI.

Colour cosmetics (cosmetics to add colour to the skin) accounted for 37.4% share of the halal cosmetics market in 2014. FMI estimates that this segment will witness a 10.3% CAGR during the forecast period. Lipcare and facecare collectively accounted for over 65% of the market share for colour cosmetics in 2014, with the remainder comprising eyecare and nailcare. FMI estimates the lipcare segment to grow at a 10.5% CAGR through to 2020, with a valuation of US$400.6 million that year.


FMI also revealed that skincare is the next-most lucrative segment after colour cosmetics, accounting for over 30% share of the market in 2014. FMI predicts that it will grow at a 10% CAGR by 2020.

FMI’s analysis further found that Southeast Asia is the most lucrative market for halal cosmetics in Asia Pacific. It was valued at US$863.7 million in 2014, and FMI estimates that it will expand at a 10.2% CAGR to be worth US$1.5 billion by 2020. On the other hand, the halal cosmetics market in South Asia was worth US$342.9 million in 2014. FMI predicts the halal cosmetics market in South Asia will see a CAGR of 9.9% through 2020, reaching a valuation of US$599.6 million by 2020.

"The BIC spans an area of approximately 500 hectares, and will attract investment in research and development, manufacturing, and commercial industries. It is an additional sector that will strengthen the economy," said His Majesty The Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam on the occasion of HM's 68th birthday.

The BIC, in the Brunei Muara District, is an initiative led by the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources of Brunei Darussalam. The BIC is a mixed use environment able to accommodate research and innovative technology applications. It is anticipated to provide up to 28,000 full time employment positions, in which 9,500 roles would be related to food processing.

Everyday Minerals starts the year off with new shades for Jojoba Base collection

Everyday Minerals has introduced 24 new shades to its popular Jojoba Base collection. The company's base  product is used to provide hydrated, even coverage to the face.

The full set of Jojoba Base shades.

Jojoba, which the company says is pronounced 'hōˈhōbə', is a small evergreen tree that is native mostly to the southwestern US. Esters from the plant are used to make the base creamy in texture.

For easier matching, the new shades have the same names as Everyday Minerals' Matte and Semi-Matte base lines. Fair 0N is the lightest of the company's new base shades, with a neutral undertone that works best on those with light olive colored skin or freckles and helps to conceal slight redness. Golden Ivory 1W is described as "slightly warmer" than the Ivory Jojoba Base, with golden undertones. Tan 5N, on the other hand, can provide more natural sheen to already golden neutral skin. 

A blog post from the company's Founder Carina Menzies suggests Jojoba Base in cold weather, and Semi-Matte and Matte to control shine when it is warmer, and lists the new colours available. Each base costs US$14 and is sold in 4.8g containers.

Everyday Minerals is all-natural, completely vegan, cruelty-free, and handmade in Austin, Texas in the US, with eco-friendly, recyclable packaging.
