Two factors are identified as the drivers behind this growth: rising disposable incomes and influencer marketing. As consumers are aware of the latest trends in both personal and home care, they are able to afford similar lifestyles to those depicted on social media channels. As a result, Transparency Market Research predicts the preservative blends market will increase with a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.60% from 2016 to 2025. According to the firm, this is because many products and formulations promoted to consumers contain a large array of preservative blends.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the Preservative Market
Similar to 2015, the Asia-Pacific region continues to hold more than 35% of the market share and this is predicted to increase in the coming years. The increase in population in this region, coupled with an increase in disposable income, will mark the growth of the market.
Currently, Asia-Pacific accounts for 60% of the world's population, which is approximately 4 billion people. This will propel the preservative blends market forward, owing to the creation of an untapped reservoir of opportunities.

Other markets with huge potential for growth include Latin America and the Middle East due to the presence of established manufacturers and the growing clout of social media influencers from these regions.
Rising Trends
With increased awareness regarding personal hygiene and growing societal pressure on both women and men, mostly due to social media, the market will be driven forward over the forecast period of 2016 to 2025. In 2017, the overall beauty industry was estimated at US $445 billion and as a result, more companies are entering the already fragmented market. In 2019, the estimated amount grew to US $532 billion—and is predicted to grow to US$805 billion by 2023.
