After experiencing a significant decline in 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic and the most stringent restrictions, followed by a modest recovery in 2021, beauty and personal care registered robust value sales growth in 2022. However, this growth was partially attributed to the increase in unit prices resulting from the escalation of raw materials costs. As a result, volume sales remained stagnant in several categories, with a few exceptions, such as depilatories and sun care.
