Industry Performance: The beauty industry is experiencing a sluggish start to 2025, with major companies like L'Oréal and Estée Lauder reporting weak fourth-quarter results and a significant slowdown in growth from 5.5% to 3.5% in the latter half of 2024.
Future Outlook: UBS warns that expectations for a quick recovery in Q2 may be overly optimistic due to ongoing challenges such as rising costs, declining demand in key markets like Asia and North America, and uncertainty surrounding new product launches.
