Beauty CPG markets are still accelerating but in uneven ways. Global skincare is projected to reach $16.7 billion in 2024 and grow at a 3.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2029, while anti aging and acne treatments sit much smaller alongside much larger categories like haircare and fragrance. At the same time, rising packaging costs and logistics disruption are reshaping the economics behind everyday products, from deodorant to sunscreen.
