Synthèse
The global cosmetics market has shown resilience and returned to growth following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, which led to a significant 17% drop in beauty product sales in France in the first half of the year. As the market recovers, the global cosmetics industry is estimated to be worth over $262 billion in 2022, with a forecast annual growth rate of 4.2% for the years ahead.
France occupies a strong position in this market, with a substantial trade surplus and major players such as L'Oréal, which participates in a concentrated market dominated by industry giants. The European cosmetics market, of which France is a major contributor, represents 22% of the world market.
The market is segmented into skin care, hair care, fragrances and make-up, with skin care leading the way. Innovations are driving the market, with the organic and men's cosmetics sectors showing dynamic growth, despite inflationary pressures on consumer prices. The French cosmetics market is particularly characterized by its fragmentation and the presence of a multitude of SMEs, which are adapting to changing consumer demand for more natural and organic products.
While in-store sales remain a primary channel for cosmetics purchases in France, online sales are gaining in importance, significantly influenced by beauty influencers and social platforms.
Dynamic trends and changing demand in the French cosmetics market
The French cosmetics market is renowned for its excellence and innovation, with leading companies such as L'Oréal and Yves-Rocher driving international demand, particularly from emerging economies such as India. This strong demand has enabled the market to remain dynamic and grow, despite intense competition and concentration between the major cosmetics giants that dominate the market. These giants must constantly innovate to meet the changing preferences of consumers, who are increasingly concerned about the environment and product transparency.
Growing consumer interest in organic and natural products has been a game-changer for the industry, forcing many manufacturers to introduce organic product lines into their product ranges. The market's agility in responding to trends has enabled it to maintain its competitive edge despite the negative effects of the Covid-19 crisis. In the first half of 2020, with sectors such as lipstick seeing a staggering 75% drop in sales in the first six months, and a 26% decline for the year as a whole. However, the French cosmetics market continues to show a positive trajectory, benefiting from a substantial trade surplus.
In Europe, the cosmetics market is worth around 80 billion euros, with France playing a leading role, particularly in the design and manufacture of skincare and make-up products. The sector is supported by a rich mosaic of over 1,000 companies, with France boasting the highest number of SMEs in the industry. These SMEs often occupy niche markets, such as organic and ethnic cosmetics.
Investment in innovation and modernization remains a priority for cosmetics manufacturers, whether they are large corporations or SME subcontractors. Cutting-edge R&D and production technologies are essential to maintain the pace of innovation and respond to changing consumer and retailer demand.
Cosmetics sales in traditional supermarkets and hypermarkets have declined, but these retail giants still hold almost half the market share of cosmetics sales. Online sales are growing, with a significant percentage of women buying beauty products over the Internet. The influence of social networks and beauty influencers is also changing purchasing behavior. Cosmetics prices, influenced by raw material costs and production expenses, have been trending upwards. However, prices for body care products are relatively stable, showing signs of market stabilization.
Pioneers and innovators: profiles of key players in the cosmetics industry landscape
The global cosmetics market is a dazzlingly diverse landscape, characterized by a fusion of traditional brands that have become household names and small, fast-growing pioneers, carving out unique niches in a dynamic industry.
In this mix of innovation and tradition, several players stand out for their significant impact, extensive reach and pioneering approaches to beauty and personal care.

L'Oréal's omnipresence in the market is reinforced by its commitment to sustainable development and technology, as evidenced by its acquisition of a stake in Debra.debut Biotech, a synthetic biology company at the forefront of the creation of environmentally-friendly, resource-saving products.
- Unilever: Another titan in the field, Unilever's beauty and personal care division boasts a vast array of brands that resonate with consumers worldwide. Strategic acquisitions and brand diversification have enabled Unilever to maintain a dominant presence in various segments, from high-end skincare lines to basic personal hygiene products.

With its roots in the heart of Brittany, France, the brand exemplifies the blend of tradition and modernity, offering a wide range of skincare and make-up products that echo the company's environmental conscience.
- Fareva: Less recognized by the public but certainly central to the industry, Fareva has strengthened its position on the international stage by offering a range of skincare and make-up products that reflect the company's environmental conscience

1 Market overview
1.1 Presentation and definition
In France, cosmetic products are defined by article L.5131-1 of the French Public Health Code as "any product intended to be placed in contact with the superficial parts of the human body, with a view to cleaning, perfuming, modifying the appearance of, protecting, maintaining in good condition or correcting body odors ". This category therefore includes skincare products (moisturizers, anti-wrinkle creams, body moisturizers, etc.) and make-up products (foundations, powders, varnishes, mascaras, etc.).
France enjoys a significant competitive advantage in this market, with representative companies in the sector such as L'Oréal and Yves-Rocher exporting and benefiting from very dynamic demand in emerging countries such as India. However, the market is highly competitive and concentrated in the hands of a few cosmetics giants, who must constantly innovate and reinvent themselves to keep pace with changing consumer needs, and hinder the entry of a growing number of small, specialized players. Growing interest in issues such as the environment and transparency, with greater attention being paid to product origin, is enabling new entrants to position themselves on the market. As a result, many manufacturers are now offering organic products in response to strong demand in recent years.
