Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Sales of beauty and personal care in Bangladesh rose in 2024 in both value terms and volume terms. While underlying demand remained positive, market performance was hindered by rising inflation, political uncertainty, and weakening consumer confidence, particularly in the second half of the year.
2024 key trends
Growing exposure to global beauty trends through YouTube, Facebook and Instagram significantly influenced consumer preferences in 2024. Skincare routines became more elaborate, demand for sun protection increased, and both men and women expanded their personal care habits.
Competitive landscape
Unilever Bangladesh Ltd was the leading company within beauty and personal care overall in 2024. The company produces Glow & Lovely, Closeup and Sunsilk, present in skin care, oral care and hair care, and saw a slight increase in share in 2024.
Retail developments
Traditional non-grocery retailers were the leading distribution channel within beauty and personal care overall in 2024. The channel’s share rose by 1.
What next for beauty and personal care ?
Sales of beauty and personal care are set to rise over the forecast period. Growth will be supported by rising beauty awareness, expansion in product availability, and greater consumer sophistication.
