The personal care and fragrance manufacturing industry has declined over the last five years. Between 2019 and 2024, industry turnover increased by an average of 0.5% annually and is expected to rise by 3.3% to €7.4 billion in the current year. In 2019, the recession in the industrial sector and the decline in global trade volumes due to strategic trade conflicts between the USA and China and the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union had a negative impact on the turnover of industry players. The decline in sales intensified in 2020 with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the far-reaching negative impact on the overall economy in Germany. The consumer climate deteriorated as a result of the pandemic and the international transport of goods was restricted. Despite high inflation and persistently high energy costs, demand for personal care products and fragrances has been high again since 2022, giving the industry a significant boost to growth. < />In the current year, the consumer climate should continue to develop positively and boost consumer demand for decorative cosmetics and perfumes somewhat. The continuing increase in net monthly household income and the health trend should have a positive impact on the industry. The profit margin is likely to increase in view of the ongoing consolidation and the associated bundling of production activities to realise synergy effects.Thanks to increasing health awareness and the expected rise in consumer demand for ecological and safe skin care products, demand for personal care products is likely to increase over the next five years and thus return to the long-term growth trend. As a result, IBISWorld expects industry sales to increase by an average of 1.6% annually over this period to €7.9 billion in 2029.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated €7.4bn in 2024.
