According to Cosmetica Italia, 60% of all the world’s cosmetics are produced in Italy. This should come as no surprise since Italy has been known to be a country of beauty and style for centuries. If you’ve ever had the chance to visit this beautiful country, you’ll know how it’s opulence and class both amaze and leave you lost for words. From the gentle water ways in Venice to the historic capital city of Rome, everything is a sight to see and you’ll never find yourself lost for things to do. That’s exactly why we expect nothing less from its cosmetics industry.
Italian beauty brands really are taking it to the next level. For centuries now, they’ve given their best to produce creative, cutting edge, and superior products. They ensure that the vast majority of their products are innovative and purely natural. From silky pressed powders to pigmented lipsticks, there’s nothing better than makeup made in Italy. In fact, Italian beauty brands and manufacturers invest at least 40% in research and development costs, more than the industry average.
The Growing Market
Each year, the love and demand for Italian-made beauty products continues to increase. The country has been ranked tenth as one of the top markets in cosmetics, personal care products, and fragrances, according to recent reports.
The statistics show the rapid yet steady growth of the market. In 2015, Italian beauty products had the second largest growth in consumers in Europe, followed by Germany, France and Spain. By the end of 2016, the value of cosmetics bought in Italy had exceeded $9.9 billion. Also, in 2017, exports for makeup made in Italy and other products showed an increase of 5.2% in the US, which made it the sixth-largest exporter of beauty products in the country.
Italy currently still remains to be one of the big shots in the industry and we can’t see Italian cosmetics being in any economic stagnancy in the near future.
