The U.S. cosmetics market is projected to grow significantly from USD 19.52 billion in 2022 to USD 27.82 billion by 2030, driven by the premiumization of ingredients, high consumer demand due to a large cosmopolitan population, and a flourishing tourism industry. As the world’s largest cosmetics market, the U.S. benefits from a diverse and affluent consumer base that consistently seeks various beauty products. This strong demand encourages businesses to introduce new products, which are quickly absorbed by the market, particularly premium and luxury cosmetics.
A key factor contributing to market expansion is the high disposable income of U.S. consumers, allowing them to invest in high-end beauty products. Additionally, the country’s status as a global fashion hub fuels the demand for color cosmetics, supported by an extensive retail network and the convenience of online shopping. International beauty brands also see the U.S. as a lucrative market, striving to meet the high demand and capitalize on its wealthy customer base. The market is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 4.53% between 2023 and 2030.

Innovation and Emerging Trends
Constant product innovation and evolving beauty trends sustain consumer interest and drive market growth. Cosmetics companies invest heavily in research and development to introduce new formulations, improved textures, and attractive packaging. With rising awareness about the ingredients used in beauty products, there is growing demand for organic and chemical-free options. To meet this shift in consumer preference, brands are launching dedicated product lines targeting this segment.
Additionally, sustainability concerns are prompting companies to adopt eco-friendly packaging. For instance, Coty Inc. has set goals to reduce packaging by 20% and increase the use of post-consumer recycled materials by 30% by 2030. The company also aims for 100% of its folding box boards to be FSC or PEFC-certified by 2025. Coty’s Adidas Active Skin & Mind shower gel range, launched in 2022, is an example of this commitment, featuring packaging made of 99.8% post-consumer recycled materials.
Influence of Social Media and Digital Platforms
The growing popularity of social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram has transformed them into powerful marketing tools for the cosmetics industry. These platforms emphasize visual appeal, increasing the demand for beauty products as consumers strive to maintain a polished appearance online. Social media not only enhances product visibility but also serves as a major driver of consumption.
Influencers play a key role in shaping purchasing decisions by showcasing beauty products to their followers. Young consumers, especially Gen Z, are heavily influenced by social media personalities and seek out the same brands used by their favorite influencers. In fact, 42% of Gen Z makeup users report being influenced by social media. Prominent figures like Kylie Jenner have leveraged their online presence to launch their own successful beauty brands. The hashtag “beauty” has been used in over 490 million Instagram posts, highlighting the platform’s role in the industry. On YouTube, much of the top beauty content is created by users rather than brands, further driving engagement.
Regulatory Framework
While the FDA does not require pre-market approval for cosmetics (except for color additives), regulatory oversight still applies to products sold across state lines. The recent passage of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) has introduced stricter regulations for cosmetics manufacturers in the U.S.
Under MoCRA, companies must register their production facilities with the FDA and submit a mandatory product listing within a year of the law’s enactment. Additionally, cosmetic labels must include a domestic contact address or phone number to handle consumer complaints regarding adverse effects. Products containing fragrance allergens must list these allergens on the label, and professional-use cosmetics must be clearly marked with appropriate usage instructions. These regulatory updates aim to enhance consumer safety and standardize labeling practices across the industry.
Expansion Through E-Commerce
The rapid growth of e-commerce and digital transformation has significantly influenced the cosmetics market. Improved internet access, widespread smartphone usage, and seamless shopping experiences have contributed to rising online sales of beauty and personal care products. Brands are increasingly focusing on direct-to-consumer (D2C) models, investing in digital marketing and personalized online experiences. Many companies now offer virtual try-on tools to enhance the shopping experience.
L’Oréal S.A. has successfully capitalized on this trend, reporting that 28% of its total sales in 2022 came through e-commerce platforms. The convenience and accessibility of online shopping continue to fuel market expansion.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic initially led to a decline in cosmetics sales due to movement restrictions, fewer social gatherings, and financial uncertainties. Supply chain disruptions caused raw material shortages and increased production costs, further affecting the industry. Additionally, reduced disposable income led consumers to cut back on non-essential purchases, including luxury cosmetics.
However, the pandemic also accelerated digital adoption, with online sales becoming the preferred shopping method due to store closures. During lockdowns, consumer preferences shifted from makeup to skincare, as people focused on improving their skin health while staying at home. This trend has continued post-pandemic, driving demand for organic, herbal, and chemical-free beauty products.
