The beauty market in Australia had a $7,756 million revenue in 2021, according to Statista. Predictions indicate that the Australian beauty industry is expected to continue growing, with a projected growth rate of 3.10% from 2022 to 2026.
Australia is renowned for its beautiful beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, great wine and sunshine. Equally it is renowned for Australians love for leading healthy lifestyles, so it is of little suprise that a number of leading beauty brands come from Australia – from Aesop to Alpha-H, Bondi Sands and Grown Alchemist, along with numerous indie beauty brands including some we have had the pleasure of working with such as Standard Procedure, and Alive Body.
The Australian approach to beauty is increasingly relevant in today’s market, the secret to beauty from an Australian perspective is taking care of yourself by using the right products that are as natural as possible. With a rising demand for clean, free-from products, A-beauty is very much on trend. Many Aussie beauty brands pride themselves on being vegan as well as toxic and cruelty free.
