LUXURY BEAUTY MARKET KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Change On Consumer Lifestyle Impeded Market Growth

Several businesses, notably the luxury beauty market for high-end cosmetics, have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Business priorities have changed to inventory management and liquidation strategies while examining post-pandemic consumer habit changes because spending has stopped and stockpiles are building up in warehouses. The discretionary character of luxury cosmetics made it one of the most badly affected sectors by the pandemic, given the combined effect of store closures and frugality due to the rapidly deteriorating economic situation. Moreover, companies reported a fall in customer demand for luxury athletic cosmetics due to consumers delaying or reducing discretionary expenditure in response to the consequences of COVID-19, which was brought on by greater unemployment rates and weaker consumer confidence.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Demand for Premium Quality Products to Surge Market Growth

This collection includes items like day creams, cleansers, and hand & body lotions.

• Rise in Sustainable Luxury Products: According to the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, over 68% of luxury beauty brands have switched to recyclable packaging materials as of 2023, aligning with environmental compliance mandates in Europe and North America.
