Our annual report on the global beauty industry is your definitive guide to future-proofing your brand in this rapidly evolving sector.
As the beauty industry shifts towards a holistic cross-sector convergence between cosmetics and wellbeing, brands are at risk of losing their footing in a consumer landscape they once knew so well. It is no longer just about what’s on the outside. Brands must demonstrate a deeper emotional understanding of customer identity to continue to innovate and disrupt within the sector.
Learn how to benefit from this cross-sector consumer mindset, as well as the new global industry shifts and trends that are set to affect your business in the next 3–5 years.
