In recent years, beauty product manufacturers have faced significant losses due to unfavorable economic conditions, including high inflation and increasing economic uncertainty. Many cosmetics and beauty products are considered discretionary, causing sales to weaken when disposable income drops. Heightened inflationary pressures in recent years pushed consumers to postpone purchases to downgrade to more affordable products, contributing to revenue losses between 2020 and 2022. Although domestic manufacturers have begun to recover, recent gains are largely driven by higher selling prices despite the smaller basket sizes. Since 2020, revenue has weakened by an estimated CAGR of 1.2% to reach $45.3 billion in 2025, including a 2.4% gain that year alone. During such times, consumers tend to opt for more affordable options, leading to a surge in imports to meet domestic demand. Imported beauty products have gained a larger share of the domestic market, especially those from countries like France, Italy and South Korea, which are perceived to offer higher quality. The growing demand for innovative, inclusive, sustainable and technical products—especially anti-aging and luxury items—creates growth opportunities for domestic manufacturers. Also, companies like Glossier, which leverages social media marketing and the heightened demand for US-made products, have successfully reached international consumers, driving an increase in exports. The ongoing economic recovery is expected to benefit domestic beauty product manufacturers. As consumer confidence and disposable income climb, spending on discretionary items like beauty products will likely increase, supporting manufacturers' performance. The anticipated decline in the world price of zinc, a key material for manufacturers, due to resolved international conflicts, will boost producers' profit. Similarly, the expected depreciation of the US dollar will enhance the performance of domestic producers both domestically and internationally. These factors are set to cause revenue to accelerate at an annualized 2.5% to $51.3 billion through the end of 2025.
