Beauty Heats Up in Miami

It may have been 9 in the morning, but the mood was festive at the opening of Cosmoprof Miami, as a guitarist strolled and mimosas were served. And why not? The inaugural event was a success, drawing 19,000 attendees and expanding Cosmoprof’s purview into the Latin American market.

Cosmoprof’s timing couldn’t be better. Taken together, Latin America is the fourth largest beauty market in the globe. Although it’s been hailed as beauty’s next big bet for over a decade, many signs point to significant growth in the years ahead, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, as the macroeconomic picture improves, said Circana’s Daniel Morimoto during an in-depth presentation at Cosmoprof.

That’s good news for beauty marketers, particularly with a slowdown anticipated to continue in 2024 for beauty’s second largest market — China. As WWD’s Denni Hu reports, luxury beauty sales are expected to increase only 5 percent in the year ahead and the landscape is changing dramatically, with C-beauty brands comprising over 50 percent of total market sales for the first time.
