Cosmetics Retailers in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Better appearance: Industry revenue is forecast to rise in 2023-24 despite the cost-of-living crisis

Cosmetics store revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2023-24. Faced with immense competition from department stores, online rivals and even clothing shops like H&M, beauty shops have fought back by expanding in-store beauty offerings. For better or worse, social media has amplified the importance of outer appearance, with the dramatic rise in photos and videos posted online propelling sales from the younger generation. With doors forced close from the pandemic and no way to test products in-store, cosmetic retailers rolled out a suite of digital alternatives, boosting sales.
