The United States is the largest cosmetics market in the world, and its total revenue is expected to exceed 62 billion in 2016. However, the global market is still growing, with opportunities in emerging markets throughout Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

The beauty and cosmetics industry can be broken down into smaller segments including make-up, skin care and lotions, hair products, and fragrances and perfumes. Together, these segments form an industry that continues to grow year after year. To learn more about specific segments and find out about new industry trends, read the post below.

Bluemercury, a brand that describes itself as a luxury apothecary and spa chain, has made a name for itself by offering customers a personalized beauty shopping experience. Based in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., Bluemercury operates 61 stores around the U.S, with 12 more scheduled to open later this year. So what is the secret to Bluemercury’s success?

“We are really trying to deliver very high customer service,” says co-founder and CEO Marla Malcolm Beck. “If you look at the department stores and the way their cosmetics departments are structured, it is all brand by brand. And employees are paid by the brand. So if you go to the Clinique counter in Macy’s or Neiman Marcus, they are going to sell you Clinique products, period.” 

Skin care is a booming industry, as everyone wants flawless skin, and for some, you can’t put a dollar amount on that. The skin care market consists of facial care, body care, hand care, depilatories and make-up remover products and is a $121 billion industry. Now more than ever, consumers are becoming more aware of what they put in, and on, their bodies to stay healthy.

Fall is rapidly approaching, one of my favorite times of the year, with the leaves changing to beautiful colors and the weather a perfect mix of hot and cold.  Every year brings about new trends in every industry, in fashion, technology and, of course, the cosmetics industry. Market research played an important role in this year’s trends at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) where the public got a better look at what the upcoming trends will be.
