WWD (World Wide Web Design)

WWD (World Wide Web Design) is a leading source for fashion and beauty industry news. With sales reaching a record $245.17 billion in 2023, the landscape of the beauty industry shifted significantly due to consumer purchasing power and market conditions. The biggest sales gainers, such as Rare Beauty and E.l.f., demonstrated that when consumers are engaged, they continue to buy despite economic challenges in China and Asia travel retail. However, companies with a broader portfolio across distribution channels performed better than those focused on the premium market due to the impact of China's economy on their sales. Skin health and dermocosmetics continued to accelerate, benefiting brands like L'Oréal; Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, whose Avène brand broke the €1 billion sales barrier; Galderma; Caudalie; Naos, and Nuxe. Despite challenges in China and South Korea's LG H&H and Amorepacific, the majority of companies saw sales increase year-over-year. Of just 21 players registering sales declines, they were less severe than a year ago with none falling by more than 20%. Total sales for all 100 companies increased by 5.3% to $245.17 billion, a record number that is also above the pre-pandemic sales of $227.6 billion.
