Additional Information:

The shown market data are based on an analysis of the biggest luxury companies in the world. A complete list of all companies and brands covered can be found in the methodology description. Sales by smaller companies or artisanal production unaffiliated with the companies covered are not included.

An important sales driver in cosmetics, especially fragrances, are licenses from established fashion brands. Coty, for instance, holds licenses for Burberry, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Hugo Boss and Balenciaga among others, while Estée Lauder currently licenses Ermenegildo Zegna, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger and Tory Burch, and L’Óréal markets cosmetics and fragrances under the Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino brands. All sales of licensed products are attributed only to the licensee to avoid double-counting of revenues.

Some of the key players are L’Óréal’s Luxe division (with brands such as Lancôme and Biotherm), Estée Lauder (Aramis, Clinique, MAC and other brands) and LVMH’s perfume and cosmetic brands (e.g. Givenchy, Benefit) as well as Coty’s Luxury and Shiseido’s Prestige divisions.
