MARKET SUMMARY

1.1 Definition and scope of study

The dermo-cosmetics market is a sub-segment of the beauty and health market. On the one hand, dermatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on skin health problems, on the other hand cosmetics include any substance used to clean, moisturize or alter a person's skin, hair, nails or teeth.

Dermo-cosmetics therefore refer to all beauty products that can be used on the skin or hair and which respond to specific customer problems (dry skin...), more or less effectively.

The concept was born in the laboratories of the Pierre Fabre company and was adopted by the major cosmetics manufacturers which are still mostly French today. These French manufacturers have managed to stay one step ahead thanks to the acquisition of many brands. L'Oréal controls, for example, Vichy and La Roche-Posay, Pierre Fabre owns the Avène and Laboratoires Ducray brands, among others.

There are two segments on the market : the "mass" dermocosmetics market, and the "premium" dermocosmetics market.

The dermo-cosmetics market was the only sector of the beauty market to register a growth in 2020: while other sectors plunged to -10% or more, this segment grew by 2%, an impressive result that proves the stability and health of the market.

Nevertheless, the sector faces some challenges including proving the effectiveness of the products in terms of beauty and health and adapting to the digital shift.

The main player of the market include, among others, La Roche-Posay, Pierre Fabre, Nuxe and L'Oreal's active cosmetics division.
