Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Overall volume and current value growth rates for beauty and personal care in Israel in 2024 fell below those witnessed in 2023. The slowdown was largely attributable to more cautious attitudes to spending amidst elevated cost-of-living pressures and heightened economic uncertainty related to the country’s war against Hamas.
2024 key trends
Fragrances remained by far the largest of the main beauty and personal categories in value terms in 2024 due to comparatively high unit prices and the strong preference for premium varieties among Israelis. Despite the non-essential and expensive nature of these products, the category weathered the challenging economic climate reasonably well, with volume and current value growth rates only slowing slightly from 2023.
Competitive landscape
Importer S Schestowitz Ltd retained the overall lead in beauty and personal care in value terms in 2024. This was chiefly due to its leadership in fragrances, though it also ranked first in oral care and men’s grooming, and maintained a significant presence in multiple other categories, including deodorants, colour cosmetics and skin care.
Retail developments
Pharmacies remained the leading distribution channel in beauty and personal care in value terms in 2024. While not the most affordable option, such stores are traditionally favoured by many Israelis because they carry exceptionally wide assortments of mass and premium ranges in all categories.
What next for beauty and personal care?
The outlook for beauty and personal care in Israel over the forecast period is broadly favourable, with total volume and current value sales projected to grow steadily and most of the main categories poised to show consistently positive results in both respects. Cost-of-living pressures will remain a drag on overall demand in the short term, particularly given that the increase in VAT at the beginning of 2025 has recently caused a further round of price hikes.
