2025 Development
Beauty and personal care in Bangladesh recorded steady value growth in 2025, supported by the increasing normalisation of daily beauty routines and broader consumer participation. However, inflationary pressure, currency depreciation and rising import costs constrained spending, driving a shift towards more affordable local alternatives. Hair care remained the largest category, reflecting its essential role and high usage frequency, while bath and shower retained strong scale as an accessible daily necessity. Baby and child-specific products recorded the fastest growth, supported by rising parental awareness and demand for gentle, purpose-designed formulations. Skin care also expanded steadily, driven by interest in natural ingredients and Asian formulation standards. Consumer preferences increasingly favoured products combining affordability with visible efficacy, supported by growing awareness of ingredient quality, safety and performance. Local brands gained traction by delivering value-led, accessible products, while Asian brands continued to shape expectations, particularly in formulation and perceived skin benefits. Distribution remained dominated by traditional retail channels, supported by accessibility and price competitiveness, while digital platforms played an expanding role in product discovery and consumer education rather than direct sales. Looking ahead, beauty and personal care is set to expand steadily, supported by rural market growth, rising consumer awareness and continued development of daily usage habits. Growth is expected to favour brands that combine cost-efficient local production, accessible formats and credible, performance-led formulations in a highly price-sensitive market.
