According to a report by IMARC Group, the Philippine cosmetics market reached approximately USD 1.83 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to around USD 2.69 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.4%.
Meanwhile, for the skincare segment, a GlobalData report indicates that the “clean beauty” trend is driving the skincare market from PHP 51.8 billion (approximately $1.1 billion) in 2021 to an expected PHP 74.8 billion (approximately $1.5 billion) by 2026, representing an annual growth rate of about 7.7%.
This growth is primarily driven by the following factors:
This indicates that for cosmetic brands seeking manufacturing partnerships or market entry in the Philippines, the aforementioned trends not only signal expanding market capacity but also suggest that formulation innovation, low minimum order quantities, small-batch customization, and eco-friendly packaging will become key competitive advantages.
The Philippines is a great place for beauty brands to do business, but it's not the only place to find good cosmetic makers. A lot of brands also look to China, which is now the world's top producer of cosmetics and skincare products.
Chinese companies are known for their strong research and development (R&D) skills, low costs, and ability to change how they make things. They can do everything from making small test batches to making things on a global scale, all while keeping high quality standards.
Most Chinese factories offer custom formulas, private label packaging, and quick turnaround times. They help brands launch new products quickly and efficiently by having a well-developed supply chain for raw materials and packaging.
In short, the Philippines has good customer service and low prices, but China is still the best at coming up with new ideas, making things on a large scale, and exporting goods around the world.
