“Rising employment levels are driving the growth of the cosmetics and toiletries industry in Australia, as an increasing number of the working population wish to look good at their workplace, thus seeking make-up products,” Anugna Victor, consumer analyst at GlobalData.
The GlobalData report also revealed that L`Oreal S.A., Procter & Gamble and Unilever were the leading market players while Colgate, Gillette and Nivea were recorded as the top brands.
“As consumers in Australia are increasingly becoming aware of the harmful effects of chemicals in cosmetic and toiletries, products with claims such as ‘herbal’ and ‘100% natural’ will contribute to the growth of the market in the coming years,” added Victor.
Private label products reported positive growth from 2013 to 2018 with overall penetration levels reaching 1.2 percent.
