Makeup Bronzer Market Report

The bronzer market for makeup has experienced significant expansion, fuelled by changing beauty trends and a rising consumer emphasis on improving their natural skin tone. Bronzer, intended to produce a sun-kissed radiance, has turned into a crucial product in numerous consumers' beauty regimens, fuelled by several things, including the growing need for products that create a more natural, radiant look, especially with the move toward boosting the tone of one's skin rather than applying a thick foundation. In contrast, the worldwide cosmetics market is expanding and is anticipated to reach US$450 billion by the year 2025. Since the cosmetics business is moving toward increased inclusivity of beauty norms, bronzers are designed to complement an increased range of skin tones, creating more opportunities for brands to capture a diverse consumer base.

Shifting beauty trends and changing consumer tastes, propelling the makeup bronzer industry, especially social media sites such as Instagram and YouTube, have a crucial role in defining trends and shaping consumer behaviour, with influencers flaunting bronzed appearances. Also, endorsements by celebrities and collaborations with beauty makeup artists have helped boost the popularity of bronzers, with increased demand for clean beauty products, forcing brands to add organic and not animal-tested ingredients in their products, including mineral-based or plant-based products. This resonates with the increasing number of environmentally conscious consumers; product innovation is necessary, as the market offers bronzers for various skin types and highlights organic, natural ingredients. The rise of clean beauty, coupled with growing e-commerce and bronzers with built-in SPF for sun shields, drives market growth.

Product innovation and formulation technology are central to propelling the makeup bronzer industry. One of the dominant trends is adding SPF to bronzers, providing both a sun-kissed look and protection from the sun, rendering them extremely coveted for their multi-beneficial use. Companies are also increasing their range of shades to suit different skin tones, focusing on inclusivity. Powder bronzers continue to be favoured for their convenience, flexibility, and adaptability, while cream and liquid bronzers appeal to customers wanting a luminous and dewy look. Moreover, the clean beauty trend has resulted in greater demand for organic, cruelty-free bronzers, with developments such as 3D-printed makeup and AI-powered personalisation further improving personalisation and customer experience.

Furthermore, the growth of online retail is significantly driving the makeup bronzer market by providing consumers with a convenient shopping platform; e-commerce offers a wide range of face bronzer options, competitive pricing, and doorstep delivery, making it a key factor in market expansion. Global B2C online platform revenue is expected to reach US$5.5 trillion by 2027, with online sales accounting for 14.4% of total retail revenue, highlighting the growing influence of online shopping on the beauty market. The convenience of online shopping enables consumers to browse and buy at their own pace, with online platforms being preferred for health and beauty items.

The increasing significance of clean beauty should affect how makeup products (including bronzers) are formulated and marketed. This acquisition could increase competition in the beauty industry, inspiring innovations from other similar companies and impacting the company's advertising in compliance with new consumer demands. For instance, in September 2022, Amorepacific acquired Tata Harper to build a North American presence and refocus the growth strategy in Europe and Asia. It will enable the Tata Harper brand to add incremental profits through participating in larger-scale and simplified internal processes at Amorepacific. Being known for its clean beauty products that are 100% also derived from natural ingredients, such as those devoid of GMOs, toxins, or artificial additives, Tata Harper aligns well with the growing market demand for products that embody clean and sustainable beauty.

The demand for innovative, high-performance makeup products in makeup solutions that offer both quality and simplicity helps to drive market growth in the makeup bronzer sector. Due to this reason, market players are launching their brands that provide Convenience and simplified beauty products. For instance, in August 2024, DIBS Beauty announced the launch at Ulta Beauty, expanding its presence with select products, including blush, contour, and bronzer sticks. DIBS Beauty designs its products for effortless use and consumers on the go, with high-performance makeup solutions being in increasing demand. DIBS Beauty further supports this initiative by having vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologist-tested products safe for sensitive skin, thus meeting the demand for clean, ethical beauty.

• Increasing demand for eco-friendly, clean, and cruelty-free bronzers made from natural and ethically sourced ingredients
• The need for long-lasting, smudge-proof bronzers that withstand different weather conditions and longer wear times is becoming increasingly popular
• The demand for bronzers that add a natural glow and luminosity, rather than matte finishes
• Growing use of advanced technology to create bronzers that blend seamlessly with different skin tones and textures
• Brands are offering customisable bronzer shades and formulas, allowing consumers to tailor products to their preferences

The makeup bronzer market encounters various limiting factors, including health issues associated with specific ingredients that could trigger skin irritation or allergies, resulting in consumer uncertainty. However, strict regulatory limits in areas such as the EU and the US restrict formulations and raise compliance costs, while the growing demand for clean beauty with eco-friendly packaging compels brands to reformulate frequently at significant expense. Furthermore, the makeup bronzer industry is competitive with many brands, creating challenges for newcomers to capture market share. Additionally, shifting consumer preferences favour natural, lighter cosmetics over heavy bronzers, influencing product demand and requiring brands to modify their offerings to stay competitive.

Furthermore, it is challenging to differentiate products since numerous brands provide comparable colours, formulations, and finishes. Affordable drugstore brands exert pricing pressure on premium brands, requiring them to explain their higher prices. Counterfeit products on e-commerce platforms damage brand reputation and reduce sales. Seasonal demand variability impacts revenue, with bronzers being more popular in summer. Economic slowdowns influence luxury beauty purchases because consumers reduce spending on discretionary products. Also, narrow shade range inclusivity continues to be an issue, and most brands do not accommodate a variety of skin tones, causing consumer dissatisfaction and poor brand reputation.

Consumers look for instant and convenient solutions for sun-kissed beauty without too much makeup use, resulting in the requirement for makeup with skincare benefits that promote both skin health and beauty, because brands make use of natural ingredients and sustainable practices to appeal to sustainable consumers in pursuit of clean beauty. For instance, in April 2024, Makeup Revolution unveiled the launch of Bright Light Bronzing Drops, giving the skin an instant sun-kissed glow, available in four radiant shades, with a formulation that moisturises and cares due to squalane and hyaluronic acid. It is versatile and adjustable and may be applied as a single drop, mixed into foundation or moisturiser, or applied as liquid bronzer, blush, or highlighter.

Customers are growing more aware of the presence of toxic chemicals in makeup, which boosts demand for safe and non-toxic brands and makes clean beauty stronger in rules. Owing to this, market players are adopting sustainable practices to remain competitive-aligned with consumers' changing values and expectations. For instance, in 2024, Clean Beauty announced its acquisition of Halo Beauty, which is one of the best trends buyers follow today when he/she talk about purchasing products devoid of harmful chemicals and composed of safe, natural ingredients. The acquisition and growth of Halo Beauty into the world of clean makeup matches a present need for products that beautify but also serve to better health and environmental sustainability.

The North American makeup bronzer market has registered continuous growth owing to increasing consumer inclination toward healthy, sun-kissed skin and the growing popularity of contouring and bronzing techniques, especially among millennials and Gen Z. Increasingly in demand are bronzers that come with extra skincare benefits such as SPF and moisturising qualities, with prominent market players like L'Oréal, Estée Lauder, and MAC Cosmetics at the forefront of the market, while these qualities are rapidly gaining popularity among smaller brands focusing on clean, vegan free from cruelty products. Under the circumstances when beauty standards keep changing, platforms for digital commerce do push outreach mostly to younger consumers, resulting in demand and possibilities that certainly spell bright times ahead for the North American bronzer market, with increased product innovations.

The Asia-Pacific makeup bronzer market is expanding rapidly with increased beauty awareness, growing disposable incomes, and the influence of beauty trends through social media, with consumers, especially younger generations in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, seeking sun-kissed or defined looks. Bronzers are becoming key elements in their beauty routines. The trend in bronzers is more towards those that give added skin-care benefits like hydration and SPF. The boom in e-commerce increases physical availability for high-tech shopping. Thus, localised preferences like paler tones from East Asia and deeper shades in South Asia will continue to compel product development. This brilliant market is again expected to keep moving in the forward direction of growth.

The European makeup bronzer market is a very vibrant one, which varies across cultures in various countries. This tends to make it competitive. In Western Europe, the demand for luxury bronzer products has been more evident, while in Eastern Europe, it has been directed towards local brands and low-price options. Some of the leading brands available in the market are Chanel, Estée Lauder, Bobbi Brown, and MAC Cosmetics. Additional market trends encompass the inclination towards natural and organic products, contemporary formulations providing extra advantages like SPF, and the growth of e-commerce. Nonetheless, several challenges emerging in the market include fierce competition, price sensitivity, and the drive for ongoing innovation. Success requires adaptation to these changes. Adaptation to upcoming changes will be critical for the survival and outside excellence of brands within Europe's ever-changing beauty arena.
