Cosmetic & Beauty Product Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Beauty products and cosmetics manufacturers have faced moderate volatility in recent years. Producers tend to benefit from sales of widely accepted and necessary personal care products, such as shampoo and lotions. However, consumers have been using more discretionary products, including skin and hair care, in recent years, enabling revenue to jump. Demand for these product lines grew during the pandemic as stay-at-home orders pushed consumers to focus on care products. During this time, manufacturers were negatively impacted by declines in demand for cosmetics, as consumers were wearing less makeup. However, this trend began to reverse as the economy reopened, enabling revenue to jump and profit to swell. As a result, revenue has grown at an estimated CAGR of 2.8% to $4.2 billion through 2024, including a 0.1% gain that year alone. 

Trends and Insights

  • Higher disposable income drives sales. As consumers gain more funds for discretionary spending, they are more likely to make discretionary purchases like more expensive cosmetics and fragrances, supporting revenue growth.
  • Canadian consumers generate the smallest share of revenue. The widespread popularity of imported products from the United States, Europe and, more recently, South Korea limits demand for domestic producers.
  • Manufacturers are concentrated in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Quebec has the highest number of producers, largely because of its significant share of the population.
  • Import penetration is a serious threat to domestic manufacturers. A stronger Canadian dollar makes the market more vulnerable to cheap foreign imports, prompting local enterprises to compete more aggressively on price.
