A market resurges - big time! - to $1.9 billion in 2006. A few years ago, it looked as though ethnic haircare, skincare, and makeup products were dinosaurs, as people of color - along with everyone else - tried upscale general-market versions sold through prestige outlets such as department stores, and “pop-prestige” outlets such as Sephora. Now better value has become key again, and major HBC marketers and mass retailers are taking full advantage.

This latest edition of Packaged Facts’ Ethnic Hair, Beauty and Cosmetics Products in the U.S. report thoroughly analyzes the rebound of beauty products for African Americans, as well as the still-budding potential of such products for Hispanics and Asians. Sales-and-growth patterns are covered, as well as marketplace and product trends. Ample Simmons demographic data are presented. Competitive strategies of Alberto-Culver, L’Oreal, P & G, and others are discussed.
