Abstract
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.
