Let's Mask !

The confinement has been a time for many to focus on their self-care routine. Consequently, the use of beauty masks of any kind (clay masks, sheet masks, cream masks, thermal masks, peel-off masks, gel masks, and others) has sky-rocketed. So much so that Researchers at Transparency Market Research predict the global beauty facial mask market to expand at a CAGR of  around 8% during the forecast period of 2020-2030 and estimated to reach a valuation of approximately US$14 bn by 2030 end.

If masking used to be pretty traditionnel – reserved to the face, commonly in a cream textures – the last decade has seen the launch of many new products aiming to disrupt the segment. Asian beauty is no stranger to this shift as it introduced and popularized the sheet masks. 

Nowadays, consumers have a plethora of choices, wether in texture or format. The latest trends we observe in this segment is first the desire for fun products and second, the extension of masking to the body.
