Annual Growth of the Global Cosmetics Market 2004 to 2016
The beauty industry is undergoing seismic disruption as cultural ideals of beauty and diversity change,
catalyzed by social media.
Over the last decade, skincare led the gains within the prestige beauty industry, fragrance was
challenged as consumer usage declined, and Boomers drove demand and influenced innovation within
the industry. However, in recent years as Generation Y has really entered the job market, they have
become a big driver of the cosmetics market; especially in the United States.

Consumers Can’t Get Enough of Subscription Boxes Source: The Benchmarking Company, based on an original survey of 6.412 U.S. women ages 18+ conducted in February 2017. Everyone loves a surprise! Perhaps that's why beauty subscription boxes have been a hit since Birchbox launched the concept in 2010. Since then, a slew of competitors has popped up offering their own boxes curated to the buyer's interests (such as vegan beauty, nails, etc...). Subscription boxes help women to discover indie brands and is why sampling often leads to conversion. As of May 2017, two of the most popular subscription services are Birchbox and Ipsy Glam Bag.

The Ramp Up of Experiential Retail Brands will continue to develop alternative ways to connect with their consumers. In prestige specifically, department stores have struggled to create meaningful consumer engagement as foot traffic and dollar sales experience a slowdown. Despite this challenge, the brick-and-mortar space in retail remains an important component for driving sales growth. As beauty brands look for ways to enhance interaction with their consumers in-store, the number of pop-ups, pop-ins (store in store concepts), and experience stores will accelerate, especially in high volume cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Taking a Stand Eighty-four percent of young people believe brands have more power to make change than governments. It should come as no surprise, then, that consumers are looking for brands that parallel their principals. Therefore, brands should be looking not through traditional means of unique product, but rather through strategies aligned with values and practices. Partisan branding will become more commonplace in the year ahead as consumers increasingly expect brands to take a stand and align on issues that are important to them. Whether it’s the environment, community, animal rights, or anything in between, brands that find ways to connect with consumers on these ideals in an authentic way can expect continued growth. Luxury Beauty will be Redefined Hubert de Givenchy once said, “Luxury is in each detail.” Yet, we have seen over the past year how the cornerstones of luxury – service, exclusivity, and personalization – are being challenged in retail, product, and experience. We can expect more of this in 2018. The fact is that consumers no longer need to pay the high price tag to receive many of the perks of a luxury product. This is not to say that traditional luxury is obsolete, but it will change. Within the luxury price-point specifically, new trends will continue to emerge that showcase consumer values in a bigger way. Small Brands Can Now Attract Big Money Successful independent beauty brands are the targets of private equity investors as well as major brands in an active acquisitions market. The online world has changed everything. Acquisitions are so dynamic in the health and beauty sector because of online noise. It has given a voice for new products and brands to lower the barriers of entry at lightning speed and this is sure to continue into 2018.
