US Color Cosmetics Market Size
The industry saw significant growth in 2023, even when adjusted for inflation. Surpassing $13 billion in retail sales, this historically resilient makeup market and its emotiveness bodes well to maintain category sales. However, prioritization of skin health and spend, as well as questioning efficacy, value, and quality will slow growth in the years to come.
Color Cosmetics Consumer Insights
- A majority of consumers use makeup. Makeup usage is widespread among women, and almost half of men participate in the category in some capacity, peaking among men under 35.
- Gen Z show increased usage of specialized formats. Increased lip gloss, tinted lip balm, and lip oil usage shows the importance of combining color and skin-beneficial attributes, a growing trend.
- Those who use more product types show above-average frustration. This shows that with a greater product repertoire likely comes greater experience, skills, experience, and critique.
Competitive Strategy for Color Cosmetics Brands
Even though efficacy, application, and brand name remain the most important factors in purchase decisions, skin-beneficial ingredients have become more prominent in recent years. The increase of claims such as plumping and anti-ageing signals opportunities for makeup brands to amp up skincare-related claims for cosmetic products.
