Market Trends

The growth of the premium cosmetics market is driven by the direct influence of digitization. Moreover, the penetration of internet and social media has helped the companies in boosting brand awareness.

The availability of information on cosmetics through online sources is driving demand for personalization of cosmetic products to meet individual needs and lifestyle. For instance, L’Oreal Paris launched an augmented reality (AR)-powered beauty app, Make up Genius, which turns the screen of the iPhone into mirrors to over-lay make-up onto the user’s face. Through this app, the users can try and test the premium cosmetic products before they buy. This helps the company in offering greater value for consumers by solving common problems such as finding the right shade or type of foundation.
