Price Sensitivity Shapes Consumer Spending Amid Economic Pressure
Beauty and personal care in Romania demonstrated resilience in 2025, achieving retail value sales of RON11.9 billion with growth of 9% despite economic austerity and heightened consumer price sensitivity. This performance underscores the market’s attractiveness, driven by a dual consumer base: price-conscious shoppers favouring private label and promotional offers, and affluent urban consumers prioritising premium, scientifically advanced products. Sustainability is emerging as a critical consideration, particularly among Gen Z, with recycling campaigns linking eco-conscious behaviour to consumer incentives. Brands that leverage science-backed efficacy, sustainability and digital marketing will be best positioned to navigate this market, which is marked by both cautious spending and a strong appetite for differentiated, wellness-driven products.
