WHERE BEAUTY MANUFACTURING IS GOING NEXT:  The personal care contract manufacturing market is projected to be worth $40.5 billion by 2030, representing a growth rate of 8.7% annually. These indispensable innovation partners have also become attractive acquisition/investment targets due to the uncertainties that often face consumer beauty and personal care brands. Manufacturers with an “established blue-chip client base” are most attractive and offer “buy-and-build” opportunities for scaling operations. Contract manufacturers with expansive capabilities, product expertise, and efficient manufacturing operations are expected to continue to draw sponsor interest. Looking at the current landscape of beauty manufacturing, several themes have emerged, including operations with differentiating technologies and enhanced capabilities via vertical integration.

Building a manufacturing plant from the ground up to accommodate growing demand is a trial by fire endeavor. Every decision feels like charting new territory. On top of that resource constraints and the constantly changing business needs can change the next decision even after there has been agreement. Flexibility is essential to increasing output but also optimizing operations. Simple things like what type of temperature transmitter and what process connection needed can change frequently based on new ways to manufacture.
