However, Why Beauty Color Africa?
With a market estimated at 6.93 billion Euros in 2012 and approximately 10% annual growth compared to barely 4% in the international market, according to the World Retail Congress Africa 2013, the African continent is the new Eldorado for cosmetic giants. A recent study found that it should reach 10 billion € in 2017..
The beauty market in Africa is mainly haircare and toiletries. Facial products and makeup are still marginal but growing quickly (just 6%-7% each of the market). Also, consumers often alternate between buying local brands and international brands which suit the local population’s different lifestyles, habits and purchasing power. Moreover, in Africa, 90% of trade still going through traditional channels, markets and stalls streets. Beauty Color Africa allows you to meet, learnet retain to a vast population who still live rural and without access to modern distribution.
