Trend Analysis

The UK market for cosmetics continues to be a beacon of growth and opportunity for international brands. Recent trade statistics underscore a promising trend, particularly for French cosmetics. In 2023 alone, the export of perfumes and cosmetics from France to the UK experienced a significant rise, growing by 8.5% to achieve a total of €23.6 billion. This growth not only highlights the enduring appeal of French cosmetics but also signals a robust demand in the UK market.

The unique positioning of French cosmetics — known globally for their quality and innovation — aligns well with the evolving consumer preferences in the UK. As the market expands, the opportunities for French brands looking to penetrate or expand within the UK are substantial.
