The majority of Europe’s 500 million consumers use on daily basis cosmetics and personal care products to protect their health and enhance their wellbeing. Although Europe is currently the highest revenue-generating region and is expected to lead in the next 5 years, Asia-Pacific is proving to be a lucrative market for cosmetics providers due to the favourable growth factors which include increasing disposable income and rising consciousness about personal appearance and care among consumers, mainly in countries such as India, China, and Japan.
European cosmetic products have a positive image in the world as the industry is strictly regulated by legislation and the producers adhere to certain manufacturing standards that ensure the high quality and safety of products. Moreover, it´s not only the finished products that are of European origin, but the complete integrated value chain takes place in EU: extraction of ingredients, raw material, formulation, manufacture, packaging, finished products, distribution and logistics, engineering / machine tools, assembly lines, testing and analysis / quality control, services, research and training.
The growing forecast for the cosmetics sector in Europe is very positive. The creation of the S3 thematic platform on cosmetics on industrial modernisation, called Go4Cosmetics, has been recognised by the cluster partners as being of high interest to foster interregional cooperation in Europe. Partnering clusters are willing to move forward to lead the creation of this platform, which is complementary to the Global Cosmetics Cluster-Europe actions and, thus enhancing its role.
