Lucintel Forecasts Moderate Growth for the US Skincare Industry During 2013-2018

Irving, TX, November 16, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The US skincare industry is expected to experience moderate growth and reach an estimated $12.2 billion by 2018. The major driver of the skincare industry is the rising concern and demand for natural and organic skincare products. Growing concern for health and safety, consumer awareness about synthetic chemicals, and rising green consciousness drove the demand for organic and natural skin care products. Another key driver of the skincare industry is increased demand of anti-aging products. This market is benefited by the high disposable income of baby boomers group.
