Market Restraints
The increasing number of substitutes to cotton pads available is expected to hamper the market growth to some extent. Alternatives such as flannel, bamboo, and other microfiber pads are witnessing a surge in demand across the cosmetics and personal care industry. Moreover, a research study conducted by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in 2016, stated that fine microfiber (0.38 mm or less in diameter) can remove 98% of bacteria and 93% of viruses, while cotton can only remove 30% of bacteria and 23% viruses. Rising adoption of these materials is expected to hinder demand for cotton pads in the near future.

Global Cotton Pads Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The global market for cotton pads has been impacted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Several governments across the globe have imposed nationwide lockdowns to limit the spread of the virus, which resulted in the shutting down of businesses and ceasing of several economic activities. According to the International Monetary Fund’s 2020 report, the global economy is expected to contract sharply by 3.0% in 2020, which is worse than the 2008-09 financial crisis. Moreover, reduced demand for cosmetics has indirectly led to low demand for cotton pads across the cosmetics sector. For instance, in 2020, L'Oréal, the world’s largest cosmetic manufacturer, witnessed a sharp decline of 7.7%, 4.8%, and 3.7% in growth across Western Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific regions.
