Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, beauty and personal care in Poland continued to grow in value terms, although the growth rate slowed compared to the previous year. Volume growth remained stable, aided by easing inflation and improved consumer confidence.
2024 key trends
In 2024, natural and health-conscious beauty remains one of the defining trends across beauty and personal care in Poland. Local consumers are increasingly drawn to simplicity, and products with short, recognisable ingredient lists and natural components resonate well. This has paved the way for the success of local and handmade brands, many of which focus on eco-conscious or artisanal production. Handmade soaps, solid shampoos, and aromatherapy-based products are viewed not only as clean alternatives but also as thoughtful gifts, especially during holidays and birthdays. Local consumers remain highly attentive to ingredient transparency and health-oriented choices, favouring simple, natural formulas over complex chemical-based products. This trend is evident not only in skincare but also increasingly in hair care and oral care. Local brands have been particularly effective at positioning themselves within this space, often combining affordability with values such as sustainability, minimalism, and handmade craftsmanship. As inflation has raised prices for mainstream brands, natural and artisanal options have become more competitively priced, helping to drive broader appeal.
Competitive landscape
Beauty and personal care in Poland continues to be led by the same top players, with L'Oréal Group leading the overall category. Its well-established brands, including Lancôme and Giorgio Armani in fragrances, L'Oréal Paris Casting in hair colourants, and a solid presence in skin care continue to attract loyal customers. Despite rising prices, consumers still trust these brands, which have successfully adapted to the increasing demand for value by offering promotions and value-for-money options in an inflationary environment. The premium segment also saw growth as high-end brands became more accessible to Polish consumers with rising disposable incomes.
Retail developments
Health and beauty specialists continued to capture the largest share. Major players like Rossmann and Hebe are leading the way, constantly expanding their stores across the country. In line with the planned change of ownership, Natura is undertaking restructuring efforts to optimise its outlet locations. These retailers are enhancing the accessibility of beauty and personal care products, making it easier for local consumers to access a wide variety of brands, often at affordable prices.
What next for beauty and personal care?
Beauty and personal care has promising prospects, with stable growth expected over the next five years. Rising wages are making premium products more appealing to consumers, but mass products will remain competitive, particularly as the cost of living increases. Beauty and personal care products have become an integral part of daily routines for many local consumers and are often used for self-expression, such as makeup or fragrance.
