Jun 12, 2020 MAC Lipstick. 2754 ( 1) Color. If you are into makeup, I’m sure you own at least one or two products from Revlon – one of the most popular makeup brands in India. It has a versatile range of makeup products, personal care products, and fragrances. This US-based company was founded in 1932 and has held a reputation of being the trendsetters in the world of makeup.
Choosing the right makeup brands from the thousands available in the market can be a daunting prospect. Whatever product we select, has to suit an individual needs and preferences. And we tend to be extra careful when spending large sums of money on these products. Because ultimately, it is a matter of looking the best either on daily basis or on a special occasion.
According to data from a study done by the Zion Report in 2017, the global cosmetic industry is worth 532 Bn US dollars. This gives us an idea of the sheer size of the cosmetics industry. However, if we take a closer look at all the different products and respective brands, we will notice that most of the everyday names that are most popular are broadly owned by top 5 companies shown below:
The market share of these top 5 makeup brands is:
- Loreal $27.2 billion
- Unilever $21.3b
- Estee lauder cos $11.8b
- P&G $11.8b
- Coty $7.7b
As can be seen from the infographic above, most of the common and popular brands are owned by one or the other of the above 5 companies
- For instance- Smashbox, MAC, Bobby brow are all owned byEstee Lauder
- Loreal, Maybellinge, NYX, Urban Decay, Bodyshop, Lancome are all owned byLoreal.
When it comes to deciding which product and brand is the best, there are several factors one should be aware of. Be it popularity, market share, revenue, type of makeup, value for money, ease of use, price & so on.
