2025 Developments
In 2025, beauty and personal care in Switzerland grew steadily in a mature environment, supported by stable economic conditions and a population of 9 million. Growth was driven primarily by premiumisation, with consumers favouring high-performance, exclusive products over volume increases, aligning with Western European trends. Fragrances lead retail value, propelled by luxury and personalised offerings, while sun care achieves the highest growth due to rising awareness of skin health risks and demand for multifunctional, high-SPF products. Sustainability and longevity emerged as transformative forces, with innovation focusing on eco-friendly formulations, refillable packaging and science-backed anti-ageing solutions. Leading companies maintain leadership through strategic acquisitions and continuous innovation, addressing evolving consumer expectations for efficacy, environmental responsibility and personalised experiences. Retail channels reflect these dynamics, as health and beauty specialists thrive on exclusivity and expertise, while retail e-commerce accelerates by offering convenience and extensive product assortments. Success in this industry hinges on balancing premium innovation with affordability, sustainability commitments and digital engagement to appeal to a discerning, health-conscious consumer base.
