Personal care products include consumer products such as moisturizers, lip balms, hair oils, shampoos, perfumes, talcum powders, shaving creams, eyeliners, toothpastes, and skin creams developed for personal hygiene and beautification. As the name suggests, chemicals are used in the manufacture of synthetic personal care products.

In contrast, natural personal care products are produced using ingredients such as flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Those products that made from such ingredients that are either grown or processed using eco-friendly farming methods such as recycled resources to promote biodiversity are categorized as organic personal care products.

The analysts forecast the Beauty and Personal Care market in North America will grow at a CAGR of 3.1 percent over the period 2013-2018.

The Beauty and Personal Care market in North America can be divided into eight segments: Skin Care, Color Cosmetics, Personal Hygiene, Hair Care, Oral Hygiene, Fragrances, Male Toiletries, and Sun Care.

The report, the Beauty and Personal Care Market in North America 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report focuses on the Beauty and Personal Care market landscape in North America and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One of the emerging trends in the market is the increasing number of product innovations. New and improved beauty and personal care products to meet varied needs of consumers will influence the demand in the future. By introducing advanced formulations, facial care product vendors have been able to charge premium prices for their products.

Many consumers may not want to spend extra money on a product that merely moisturizes their skin, but they are willing to invest in products that claim to offer other benefits such as reducing wrinkles and increasing the skin's firmness.

According to the report, one of the main drivers is the aging population in the region. This leads to an increase in the demand for anti-hair-loss and anti-aging products. Consumers in the US, especially the elderly, are always on the lookout for methods to improve their appearance and help them look and feel younger than their biological age. They look for new and effective anti-aging products that reduce blemishes, wrinkles, dark spots, and any other marks and help their face look bright and youthful.

Further, the report states that one of the main challenges hindering the market growth is the intense competition among the vendors. This has led to frequent price wars and loss of consumers.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
