Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

The facial makeup market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.73 billion in 2024 to $10.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased consumer awareness of ingredients, increase in the awareness regarding beauty consciousness, consumer trends, clean beauty movement, health and wellness trends.
The facial makeup market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise of e-commerce and omnichannel retailing, the growing number of young and working women population, rise in influencer marketing, diversity and inclusivity, celebrity and designer collaborations. Major trends in the forecast period include regulatory compliance and safety concerns, technological advancements in formulations and application, hyper-personalization with AI and AR, inclusivity and diversity, sustainable packaging.
The forecast of 5.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. could experience price inflation driven by higher costs of cosmetic pigments, emulsifiers, and imported containers from Italy and France, leading to increased manufacturing and packaging expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
A rise in influencer marketing is expected to propel the growth of the facial makeup market going forward. Influencer marketing is a form of marketing that involves collaborating with individuals who have a significant following on social media to promote a brand's products or services. Influencer marketing is a popular strategy in face makeup to present items in use, offer product reviews, and give makeup tips. Influencer marketing helps beauty firms access a wider audience, build brand awareness, and boost sales. For instance, in February 2024, according to Benchmark Company LLC, a US-based venture capital firm, influencer marketing experienced a significant increase, reaching $21.1 billion in 2023, a 29% rise from the $16.4 billion recorded in 2022. Therefore, the increase in influencer marketing is driving the growth of the facial makeup market.
