Sales of beauty and personal care returned to low positive volume growth in New Zealand in 2024, while value growth dropped slightly. This can be attributed to stabilising levels of inflation which have fallen again after two years of spikes. However, difficult economic conditions continue in New Zealand, with high costs of living supressing potentially stronger sales. Indeed, consumers in New Zealand have cut their spending on non-essential items within this economic context.
