The UK beauty industry is an economic powerhouse, contributing over £28 billion to the UK economy, with personal care goods accounting for over £22 billion of that total. According to our Value of Beauty Report (produced with Oxford Economics), exports by UK beauty and personal care manufacturers reached £4.3 billion in 2024, representing 1.3% of all UK goods exports.
With the global beauty and personal care market currently valued at over $600 billion and projected to grow, British brands enjoy a stellar international reputation. Exporting allows you to tap into global demand and benefit from the UK’s 40 trade deals covering over 100 countries and territories.
