Vol. 30. No. 3
The desire to maintain a youthful image combined with an emerging global market with
disposable income has driven the development of many new industries. The cosmeceutical
industry is based on the development and marketing of products that lie between cosmetics
and pharmaceuticals. Today, there are over 400 suppliers and manufacturers of cosmeceutical
products, and the industry is estimated to grow by 7.4% by 2012. Although a number of
products advertise predictable outcomes, the industry is largely unregulated and any consumers
of cosmeceutical products should consult a dermatologist prior to use. This review will
provide a snapshot of the current trends of this industry and provide an analysis of this
multi-billion dollar market.
