According to Cosmetics Europe, the region is the largest cosmetics market in the world after the U.S. The growth of the cosmetics industry in Europe is driven by the advent of new color pallets of skincare products and the introduction of various skin-specific treatment methods. Surging concerns among the masses in the countries of the region about skin cancer and exposure to harmful rays have contributed to the usage of different skin care products.
The increasing number of chains for the distribution of various cosmetics and the broadening consumer demand for natural cosmetics in the region are some additional factors supplementing the growth of the cosmetics industry in Europe.
Moreover, increasing spending power of the population, ongoing urbanization, and surging awareness among the masses regarding grooming and enhancing their appearance are expected to propel the growth of the skin care industry in the region in the coming years, thereby augmenting the demand for retinol in Europe.
