Founders' Views on Cosmetic Technology

In 2016, the global cosmetic market grew an estimated of four percent in comparison to the previous
year. Skincare, hair care, make-up, perfumes, toiletries and deodorants, and oral cosmetics are the
main product categories of the cosmetic market. There is a considerable rise in disposable incomes
over the past decade. The growth in global economies, changing lifestyles, rising demands of skin and
sun care products due to varying climatic conditions encourages the growth of the market for
cosmetics. Rising demand for cosmetic products creates potential opportunities for manufacturers to
innovate and develop new products in accordance to consumer preferences. Cosmetic Technology is a
science which is used to enhance the appearance or odour of the human body. The aim of the
programme is to prepare or re-profile graduates for work in the cosmetic industry. It also serves as a
platform for individuals who are already working in a related industry to upgrade or update their skills
and knowledge.

Innovation and Future Trends in the Cosmetics Industry

As impressive as innovations have been until now, the 21st century will represent a whole new horizon
for scientific innovation in the cosmetics and personal care industry. Cosmetics products have
witnessed prominent adoption in developed regions owing to swift change in consumer lifestyle and
increase in disposable income. Europe is presently the highest revenue-generating region and is
expected to lead throughout the forecast period (2016-2022). However, Asia-Pacific is the most
lucrative market for cosmetics providers due to the favourable growth factors which include increasing
disposable income and rising consciousness about personal appearance among consumers, mainly in
countries such as India, China, and Japan. The cosmetics and personal care industry is a science-driven
and highly innovative sector which makes large investments in R&D. Most large companies in our
industry spend between 1.5% and 4.5% of their annual turnover (sales) on R&D, with some spending
considerably more.

Advent of Technology Is Transforming the Cosmetic Industry

We are living in the era of advanced technology where in every part of our daily life is penetrated by it
in some or the other way. The latest wave of cosmetics are based on advanced research that includes
the use of biotechnology-derived ingredients, genetic profiling for individual skin-care or nutritional
regimes, stem-cell-based products and therapies to regenerate ageing tissues, or cell and tissue
engineering for cosmetic purposes.

Cosmetic Science: Beauty, Convergence and Creativity

The development of cosmetology represents an important breakthrough in health and beauty
sciences. Great technological developments have already taken place in this field and many are yet to
occur. Cosmetology arose as a completely new field, flourishing at an astounding speed in recent years
in India as well as abroad. Subsequently there has been an increase in demand for skilled professionals
in this field. Cosmetic Technology is a demanding field requiring technical, entrepreneurial &
communication skills. Cosmetic Technology in industries held portions in sales marketing, research &
development, production and quality control as well as in administration & management. Industrial
cosmetologists are able to use their technical training &skills at the same time, experience
professional growth, personal satisfaction &challenging environment.
