Beauty advent calendar demand surges amid rising consumer interest
The beauty industry is seeing a massive surge in demand for advent calendars, with consumer interest tripling over the last three years. Industry data indicates that interest in these products has increased by 46 percent compared to last year, driven largely by social media hype and the allure of exclusive, unboxing-style consumer experiences.
In Scandinavia, Caia Cosmetics experienced significant demand, with tens of thousands of customers entering digital queues for its 3,000 NOK calendar, which sold out by 10:00 AM. However, the launch faced scrutiny following a viral video suggesting the calendar's makeup bag was a low-cost duplicate available from Asian e-commerce sites.
Global retailers are also capitalizing on the trend, particularly within the K-beauty sector. Brands and retailers like Lookfantastic, StyleKorean, and Sephora are releasing various curated collections featuring popular skincare and makeup brands. These offerings range from budget-friendly options to luxury sets from high-end names like Diptyque and Acqua di Parma.
