Matte lipsticks have become one of the most stable and high-margin color cosmetics categories in the global beauty market. Unlike glossy or liquid lip products that follow short trend cycles, matte lipsticks consistently dominate mass market, premium, and indie beauty brands due to their:
Long-lasting wear
High pigment payoff
Oil-control and non-shiny finish
Compatibility with clean beauty and vegan formulas
As a leading Guangzhou cosmetics factory, we specialize in custom matte lipsticks production for international brands, wholesalers, distributors, and emerging private labels seeking OEM, ODM, and OBM solutions.
With Guangzhou being one of the largest cosmetic manufacturing hubs in China, brands benefit from mature supply chains, R&D strength, regulatory expertise, and competitive cost structures.
The global lipstick market was valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2024, with matte lipsticks accounting for over 38% of total lipstick sales. According to industry forecasts, the matte lipstick segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2030, driven by:
Rising demand for long-wear makeup
Growth of indie and DTC beauty brands
Increased preference for transfer-proof formulas
Expansion of private label cosmetics
