Revolutionizing the Beauty Industry: Amazon’s Global Beauty Store and Vinculum Group’s Impact on Beauty Brands

The worldwide beauty industry is valued at $511 billion, with a 4.76% CAGR projected from 2022 to 2026. In the US, per-person revenues in 2022 amounted to $74.15, while the European market reached $138.40 billion. The pandemic led to a temporary sales slowdown, but the industry adapted to online shopping, AI, and VR. According to a report from Statista, cosmetics (including face, lip, eye, nail, and natural cosmetics), 2022 revenue was $100.50 billion, expected to grow at a 6.85% CAGR from 2022 to 2026.
Skincare, encompassing creams, lotions, and sunscreen, amounted to $153.30 billion in 2022, with a 5.19% CAGR expected. Personal care, including cleansing, oral care, and shaving products, is the largest segment with a $254 billion market volume in 2022, projected to grow by 3.83% annually from 2022 to 2026, primarily driven by the United States, accounting for $41.57 billion in 2022. It means the beauty industry will change the fortune of the eCommerce sector and retail players.
