As people return to socializing and in-store shopping, with most of the U.S. population now having been at least partly vaccinated for COVID-19, beauty retailers are experiencing a significant increase in-store sales.

In addition, a surge in demand for skincare products and organic cosmetic products is driving the growth of the global beauty product market. The global cosmetics industry is expected to reach $463.5 billion by 2027, growing at a 5.3% CAGR.
