These days, there’s no doubt that the beauty landscape in Singapore is a fast growing one and the need to understand the consumer behaviour of beauty shoppers in Singapore will give marketers an edge in reaching out to them.

Just look over at the Cosmetics and Personal Care Report conducted this year: it forecasts that the revenue garnered in Singapore’s cosmetic market could amount to US$937m in just 2018. In fact, the market is even predicted to grow annually by 2.3%.

This, thus, shows that there is a lot of potential to be explored in Singapore’s beauty landscape, particularly for marketers in the field.
