Natural, Organic Beauty Products Sales to Hit $9 Billion
Posted in Uncategorized on 01.01.12 by Merlyn
A recent study conducted by Organic Monitor indicates that the global sales of natural and organic beauty products will probably reach about $9 billion this year. The report also states that there is a high consumer demand for natural and organic beauty products but the economic slowdown is causing the growth rate to slow down. The upcoming report on the 'Global Market for Natural and Organic Personal Care Products' predicts that revenues from organic and natural beauty products should climb to $14 billion by 2015. Additionally, the report indicates that the demand for such beauty products is spread over a cross-section of regions but sales remain concentrated in Europe and North America. The study also reveals that natural and organic beauty products have 2% of global personal care product sales, while countries such as the United States, Germany and Austria have seen these beauty products market shares reaching 10%. A common issue that most consumers face is when it comes to discerning whether their beauty products are actually organic. When it comes to a beauty product, natural ingredients are those that have been sourced from the land or sea. But, this does not necessarily mean that they are herbicide-, pesticide- and fertilizer-free. This comes to an important fact, not all natural beauty products are organic!
