Industry Development of Cosmetic Packaging Products

According to the latest report, the global cosmetic packaging market is expected to grow from $49.4 billion (approximately RMB 345.51 billion) in 2020 to $60.9 billion (approximately RMB 425.94 billion) in 2025. The sales volume of cosmetic packaging materials in China increased from 7.28 billion units in 2017 to 9.38 billion units in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%.

From the perspective of demand, the stable growth of domestic consumption power has led to continued expansion of the market scale for industries such as jewelry, cosmetics, and others, which prefer plastic packaging materials. At the same time, competition in these industries is intensifying, labor costs are rising, and environmental protection requirements are increasing, leading to many business opportunities in the high-end packaging materials, packaging design, and packaging manufacturing fields.

Regarding the commonly used materials in the cosmetic packaging industry, it can be understood that, in addition to good barrier properties, the functionality and decoration of cosmetic packaging materials are also crucial. Cosmetic packaging materials have various forms and are divided into primary and secondary packaging. The part directly in contact with the cosmetics is called primary packaging, including various glass bottles, plastic bottles, and soft tubes, and the part not directly in contact with cosmetics is called auxiliary packaging, which usually consists of various packaging boxes, makeup bags, and paper labels.
