External factors influence cosmetics industry performance. This blog overviews three leading indicators of consumption expenditures for cosmetics, perfumes, bath, skin care, and nail preparations.
Leading indicators for CPG: Cosmetics
Housing starts
Housing starts is a leading indicator for overall changes in the economic business cycle, including consumer spending. Economic weaknesses traditionally begin in the housing market and ripple through other industries.
Consumer sentiment
Consumer sentiment can be a predictor of inflation-adjusted consumer spending on cosmetics. Monitoring consumer sentiment can help anticipate shifts in the industry’s performance.
Spending plan
Female intentions to curb spending on cosmetics can be a leading indicator of future decline in inflation-adjusted spending on cosmetics. This data serves as an early indicator of potential changes in consumer behaviors.
