Beauty and Personal Care Market Key Highlights for 2024 - Consumers' Quest to Control Health Outcomes Supports Ingredient-led Innovations in Beauty

DUBLIN, March 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Voice of the Industry: Beauty and Personal Care Key Highlights" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Overall optimism in beauty and personal care in 2024 is driven by technological developments, which span a wide range, from traditional and generative artificial intelligence, to blockchain, to new formulation and ingredient launches. The beauty and personal care industry is still grappling with inflation, although rates are expected to moderate in 2024. As a result, greater channel competition is projected, with gains most pronounced for discounters, online marketplaces and e-commerce.

Key Findings

The beauty industry expects artificial intelligence to play a significant role in the next five years

Beauty and personal care companies are already incorporating artificial intelligence, ranging from daily consumer-facing activities, such as enhanced website search and handling customer service requests, to B2B activities. Greater consumer reliance on diagnostics presents opportunities in generative AI, while other technologies, like 3D printing and biometrics, widen options to tailor solutions and personalise offerings.

Formulations and ingredients lead as top launches among beauty industry respondents

With consumers being increasingly educated about skin health, the search for additional benefits beyond basic functionality is growing. Consumers' quest to control health outcomes supports ingredient-led innovations in beauty, where players should continue centering hero-ingredients to meet the increasing need for solutions-based benefits.

Beauty and personal care industry is still grappling with inflation, despite moderating rates

Global inflation is expected to moderate in 2024, but the beauty and personal care industry is still being "moderately" or "extensively impacted" by inflation, according to industry professionals, particularly in Latin America and Western Europe. Beauty brands' top three actions in response to inflation have been to increase prices of some products/services, accept lower profit margins, or increase prices of all products/services.

Online marketplaces and retail e-commerce emerge as top two channels to gain share

With inflationary pressure reducing spending power among consumers, about two thirds of beauty and personal care professionals expect the discounter channel to gain share. This rise will also be accompanied by expected greater momentum from retail e-commerce and online marketplaces, and increased digital engagement from consumers.
