THE AFRICA BEAUTY SUMMIT & AWARDS
BACKGROUND:
The cosmetics sector in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to grow over the next two years. Overall, the African beauty and personal care market was estimated at €6.93 billion in 2012 and it currently increases between 8% and 10% per year against a global market growth rate of close to 4%. It was expected to have reached €10 billion in 2017 when the continent’s total population, the fastest growing in the world, passed 1.2 billion inhabitants.
The Nigerian beauty and personal care market is experiencing rapid and dynamic growth, providing lucrative opportunities for beauty businesses from around the region and beyond. The market is currently worth an estimated US$3 billion, according to Euromonitor International, and its value is likely to rise to keep pace, with an increasing number of working women with disposable income as well as sophisticated youth searching for new ways to care for and present themselves.
Strong population growth – particularly of the young, urban, and female populations – means beauty and personal care in Africa and Nigeria have plenty of scope for growth, especially in terms of exciting, new products. As part of the Continent’s fast-growing middle class, young people are becoming more westernized through media exposure, and are expected to drive demand over the forecast period. (Euromonitor)
Africa and Nigeria have become a destination of choice for investment by international companies that aim to seize the opportunities presented by the beauty and personal care markets.
This is due to the expected population growth and an impressive positive performance by beauty and care products.
The cosmetics and personal care industry globally generates an estimated annual turnover of US$400 Billion. Sub-Saharan Africa currently accounts for 3% of global beauty products sales but that share is expected to grow at double the rate of the market.(allafrica.com)
Therefore, The need to honor stakeholders in the industry and promote cosmetics and personal care brands and service providers cannot be over emphasized. Thus we introduce The Africa Beauty Summit & Awards
