Market Growth Factors

• The luxury cosmetics market benefits from the rise in disposable incomes globally, especially in emerging markets, which encourages increased spending on premium beauty products. Enhanced consumer lifestyles and rising employment (e.g., 75.3% employment in EU's 20-64 years age group in 2023) spur demand. Premium brands increasingly invest in innovative product launches and collaborations, such as Estée Lauder's partnership with Shoppers Stop in India and Balmain's luxury fragrance campaign.
• Growing awareness of health and skin safety propels the demand for organic and natural cosmetics. About 33% of European natural ingredient imports stem from developing economies in 2023. Sensitivities to chemicals drive consumers to organic products like Boohoo's vegan beauty range and Shiseido’s Ulé brand sourcing pesticide-free botanicals, reflecting a strong market shift towards clean beauty practices.
• Digital transformations and social media profoundly impact marketing and consumer engagement. US influencer marketing spending is expected to reach USD 7.14 Billion in 2024, with platforms like Instagram and TikTok expanding brand visibility and sales reach. Collaborations between luxury brands and entertainment, such as Estée Lauder's M.A.C x Netflix Stranger Things collection, enhance brand connection with younger demographics, fueling luxury cosmetics demand globally.
