2025 Development
Croatia's beauty and personal care market in 2025 showed resilient growth, with a 6% retail value increase to EUR621.1 million, driven by rising consumer expenditure and GDP expansion. Consumers balance cautious spending with a demand for innovation and wellness products, creating a dual market for both affordable and premium segments. Skincare is a key category, with advanced formulations and interest in multifunctional, longevity-focused solutions. Market leaders maintain their strength through diverse portfolios, while private labels gain traction. Distribution relies on health and beauty specialists, with e-commerce slowly expanding.
