Mintel sees APAC growth for skin microbiome products
Prebiotics and probiotics are among the top five growing skin care claims in the Asia-Pacific region product launches but consumers need to be educated about their efficacy, according to market analysts Mintel. Mintel data shows that
microbiome claims are still niche accounting for less than 5% of all facial care launches in the region between Jan 2019 and Nov 2022, but are constantly increasing. In its new2022 APAC Beauty
and Personal Care Landscape report, Mintel found 35% of Thai consumers are aware of probiotics as a beauty ingredient, yet microbiome-related claims are still considered niche in this local market.
A majority of Thai consumers
who are aware of probiotics associate them mostly with body care and soap, bath and shower products, probably connected to the number of launches and the stronger communication in these categories. Yet, half of them associate
probiotics with facial skin care and this is where the biggest opportunity lies as consumers are more engaged. “A key opportunity to raise
understanding of microbiome will be reinforcing/rebalancing the skin barrier and targeting common skin conditions like acne,” said Chiara Zen, Director of Insights, Beauty, Personal Care and Household, APAC.
“Functional beauty ingredients
have become a reason to believe, and this is the space where it could be easier to get consumers familiar with the notion of good/ bad bacteria and the importance of skin microbiome balance as the foundation of acne-free skin,” she added. “To successfully establish this
new ingredient is critical to illustrate its efficacy. A key opportunity to boost probiotics ‘awareness’ in skin care is, for example, to offer anti- acne benefits.” The 2022 APAC Beauty and
Personal Care Landscape report found that in the next two years, consumers will also become more aware that climate change
concretely impacts their health. This, along with the lingering
impacts of the pandemic, has been driving consumer interest in and acceptance of eco-friendly formulas, including waterless ones. “People are adopting more
responsible behaviour as they recognise that environmental health equals human health,” said Zen. “Waterless formats represent an opportunity for a more eco-friendly offer, but brands need to balance the focus on promoting skin benefits, e.g. higher concentration of actives, and safety, e.g. lack of preservatives, and yet provide no compromise in terms of pleasant experiences.”
Demand for microalgae ingredients tipped for strong growth
Global sales revenue for microalgae in personal care and cosmetics will rise 150% in the next decade, according to a new report by Future Market Insights (FMI). The Personal Care and
Cosmetics Microalgae Market report forecasts revenue will grow to $76.5m by 2031, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. Increasing use of spirulina in
the treatment of skin issues such as tanning, ageing and pigment

abnormalities, along with rising use of microalgae in the production of skin whitening, anti-ageing, and pigmentation reduction cosmetic products will drive market growth. Meanwhile, rising adoption of
microalgae in creating hair care products due to its anti-bacterial and hair growth boosting properties will see usage in that segment grow by a CAGR of 3.6% to 2031, said FMI. In addition, consumers are
switching towards vegan cosmetics
owing to growing awareness regarding animal welfare. Microalgae extracts have
emerged as a suitable vegan substitute for producing cosmetic products, which will create scope for growing applications in cosmetics sector, said FMI. Market players are also looking
to capitalise on anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties of microalgae for treating oral disorders.
Algal extracts are now used in
creating toothpastes, functional chewing gums, and mouthwash as gelling and water binding properties of hydrocolloids are becoming popular in dentistry.
