Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Lebanon continued to be impacted by elevated inflation in 2024 which led to a sharp rise in the cost of living. High unemployment and a lack of trust in the local currency and the local banking system also continued to undermine consumer confidence which negatively impacted spending on non-essential purchases.
2024 key trends
One of the main trends impacting beauty and personal care in Lebanon in 2024 was the continued rise of e-commerce. Initially fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce saw its growth limited by Lebanon’s economic crisis and issues with credit/debit card payments.
Competitive landscape
Beauty and personal care in Lebanon continued to be led by international players like L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Coty, and Colgate-Palmolive, among others. These major players have largely been able to maintain their presence in Lebanon despite the challenges facing the market over the course of the review period.
Retail developments
The distribution landscape varies across the different product categories of beauty and personal care in Lebanon. For colour cosmetics, fragrances and skin care consumers tend to visit beauty specialists, pharmacies and department stores with these channels offering a wider selection of products and typically have trained sales staff on hand to provide advice.
What next for beauty and personal care ?
Lebanon still has the underpinnings of a free-market economy with unrealised potential. The country benefits from a highly educated labour force, diverse culture, rich history, strong tourism appeal, and mild climate.
