Overview: Online Beauty Market Germany

In 2022 the beauty online Germany market size fell, causing a temporary dip in sales. However, this is forecast to rebound to double-digit value growth in 2023 in spite of the cost-of-living crisis.

This beauty online Germany market growth will largely be driven by the inflationary price increases in many BPC categories. Once the economy bounces back to relative normality, prices in the BPC category will stabilise as well.

Online Beauty Shopping Trends for German Consumers: What Consumers Want and Why

High inflation rates are squeezing consumer budgets. Retailers will have to be fully transparent about the total cost of products, i.e. including delivery and returns, to give buyers total control over their spending. Discounts are especially popular with German consumers, therefore, promoting convenience and loyalty discounts can encourage people to buy products or to sign up for subscription services.

As the beauty online Germany market volume is set to increase, the pressure on the development of Germany’s urban infrastructure and sustainable delivery will also double.

  • Online Beauty Market Trends: As the beauty online Germany market volume increases, sustainability in this sector is becoming an unavoidable subject. 24% of German BPC online buyers would prefer sustainable shipping options.
  • Beauty Consumer Behaviour: 48% of German consumers buy beauty online.
  • Market Opportunities for Online Beauty Retailers in Germany: With consideration for squeezed consumer budgets, brands need to focus on how they can support their customers during the cost-of-living crisis. 43% of online BPC buyers, especially those aged 16 to 34, say discounts would encourage them to buy new beauty products.

Beauty Online Germany Market Growth and Opportunities

In spite of Germans’ limited interest in digital innovation, almost half of Germans buy beauty online. Brands can increase participation and interest by introducing innovative retail technology such as virtual try-on tools to appeal to a younger, tech savvy audience, who continue to gain more purchase power.

As the online beauty market Germany is forecast to more than double in value from 2022-27, it is crucial for the online beauty retailers industry Germany to find more sustainable delivery solutions and to minimise the levels of product returns to cater to consumer demands for sustainability and ethical retailing.
