While exploring various beauty industry trade shows over the past year, we’ve spoken to many suppliers and brands about changes and trends they’re experiencing in package manufacturing and supply chain—both domestically and throughout the world. Some suppliers maintain global plants for regional manufacturing, some are legacy U.S.-based, and others are re-locating facilities to be closer to thriving marketplaces—such as the U.S.
According to data firm Statista, the global beauty and personal care market was estimated to be worth more than $500 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. By 2026, the market is projected to reach over $600 billion U.S. dollars in value.
Product packaging has taken on an even larger role as of late, with both e-consumers and retail purchasers looking for primary and secondary packaging that POPS, while also becoming ever more conscious about materials used, as well as behind-the-scenes corporate standards.
Beauty brands are treating their bottles, boxes and outer packaging as “integral to their product experiences,” according to Dewi Pinatih, head of Product Design at Stylus.
Ongoing sustainability efforts continue to significantly impact the U.S. packaging industry. According to a recent report from Research and Markets (“U.S. Sustainability in Packaging Market Report”), the focus is driven—“at least in part—by public pressure, packaging producers and end users [who] are increasingly concerned about the environmental effects of their products.” This has sparked a variety of key trends and targets in the packaging industry, such as source reduction, improved recycling rates (especially for plastics) and the increased use of biodegradable and/or compostable materials.
In this issue’s feature story on Made in the USA/NA packaging, we reached out to key industry analysts as well as prominent packaging suppliers to learn more about the reasons behind regional production, as well as trends in the current state of manufacturing—and of course, future predictions.
As always, it’s Beauty Packaging’s intent to help you stay well-informed and ahead of the game.
Jay Gorga and I hope to meet you soon, at one or both of September’s two dynamic tradeshows—MakeUp in New York and Luxe Pack Monaco.
As cosmetic packaging continues to take on a larger role in product sales, we look forward to hearing about the current trends you are noticing.
