Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
The Danish economy continued improving in 2024 and saw lower inflation than in previous years, benefiting beauty and personal care. Reduced inflation and interest rates, plus rising real incomes and improved consumer confidence, resulted in overall higher consumer spending. Although many local consumers still prioritised spending on travel and experiences, beauty and personal care recorded sustained positive growth in most categories. Overall value growth was slightly lower than in 2023, partly because inflation had boosted value in that year.
2024 key trends
The trend towards more natural and safe product ingredients remained key in beauty and personal care in 2024, fuelling demand and driving innovation. Although the trend manifested slightly differently across categories, many companies increasingly focused on launching products that have higher levels of natural and organic ingredients.
Competitive landscape
L’Oréal Groupe is still the largest global brand owner in beauty and personal care in Denmark, deriving strength from some of the country’s most popular brands, high levels of brand recognition and loyalty, and extensive retail and e-commerce distribution. L’Oréal also engages in continuous product launches and promotional activity to maintain its market-leading position. Inter Parfums, meanwhile was the fastest-growing GBO in 2024, while Parlux Fragrances was propelled by the strong performance of its Billie Eilish brand. This celebrity brand gained particular popularity among younger consumers and posted robust rises from a relatively small base.
Retail developments
Health and beauty specialists remained the leading distribution channel in 2024, bolstered by the strong presence of the two major drugstore chains Matas and Normal. Both chains operate several stores around the country, offering convenience that draws in a wide consumer base. While Matas is the incumbent operator, known for its quality and wide selection of brands and products, Normal is a newer entrant with a narrower range but has grown significantly thanks to lower prices and a stronger discount focus. Both players have extensive store networks across Denmark, and their intense competition keeps prices down for consumers.
What next for beauty and personal care?
The Danish economy is expected to continue improving over 2025 and in subsequent years, with the National Bank of Denmark forecasting stable and moderate inflation, growing GDP and real wages, and rising private consumption. Combined with improving consumer confidence, these factors are set to drive growth in beauty and personal care during 2025 and throughout the forecast period. Premium products are likely to outperform mass offerings, as the premiumisation trend continues to gather momentum.
