Global cosmetics and personal care industry trends

Overview

The global cosmetics and personal care industry showed varied growth and strategic expansion in August 2026.

Puig reported a 2.4% increase in revenue for the first half of 2026, totaling 2.35 billion euros, with a 17% sales increase in the Asia-Pacific region. While the fragrance and fashion division saw double-digit growth, the skincare sector faced headwinds from a weakening premium market and currency fluctuations. Despite revenue losses linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the company maintained its full-year outlook.

Broader industry trends included sales growth for Coty and The Estée Lauder Companies, alongside high single-digit gains in beauty sales at Target. Market expansion efforts were noted as Proya partnered with Ulta Beauty for the US market and Amorepacific launched Mamonde in India. Additionally, the sector saw active M&A activity and a trend toward wellness-focused product innovation.
