Cosmetics Industry Watch: The Steady Growth of Premium Cosmetics Places a New Emphasis on the Application Experience

Examining the beauty industry from a global perspective reveals the emergence of four strong, clearly-identifiable trends. That’s according to Euromonitor, a leading consumer research firm, quoted extensively in this Cosmetics Design article. The four trends include the exploration of new retail channels, capitalizing on high tech claims, a heightened awareness of emerging global trends, and most importantly for the purposes of our discussion, the growth of the premium cosmetics sector, especially relative to mass market cosmetics. Premium cosmetics are outperforming mass market alternatives in Western Europe, North America and the Asian Pacific region.What does this mean for the world’s best beauty brands? A new emphasis has been placed on the application experience. That much is certain. Customers who are selecting premium cosmetics are looking for enhanced product performance as well as a luxurious, enjoyable application process. Beauty packaging must look good, perform well and be satisfying to use.
