Latest statement on the industry
The 2018 predictions follow a Q4 statement for the beauty and personal care industry, released by Euromonitor in December.
In it, the firm explain that the industry enjoyed the second consecutive quarter of improving outlook in the global beauty market, albeit marginal.
“The most significant upgrades continue to stem from Brazil and Japan, joined by key Western European markets, indicating a positive state of affairs in the long-stagnating region,” the firm explains.
“Skin care experienced the most significant upgrade compared to baseline forecasts, due to positive impact from two main drivers: GDP, and product pricing in the above geographies.”
