In 2018, the excellence and innovation of the French cosmetics industry were reflected in exports that passed the 14.5 billion euro mark (+6.3% on 2017). The sector posted a positive trade balance of 11.2 billion euros, up nearly 6.6% on 2017. The sector maintains its place on the podium of French export champions after aeronautics and wines and spirits.
\nOnce again, the value of exports exceeds the sector's sales on the French market.<\/p>\n

EU, Asia and North America remain top-performing zones<\/p>

  • In the European Union, export growth remains strong, with an increase of 4.5%. The biggest increases were in Spain (+8.5%) and Italy (+7.2%). The outcome of the Brexit negotiations is eagerly awaited by the sector, as the UK is the second EU country (after Germany) to which France exports the most (over 1 billion euros, with an increase of 3%).Outside the EU, Russia's increase was 17.8%.
    \nAlthough Europe is already a mature market, and French products already have a strong presence there, the attractiveness and safety of our products means that we can continue to increase our exports.<\/li>\n
  • Exports to Asia continue to grow, with an increase of 16.6% in 2018 and growth in excess of 20% in China (+22.7%) and Singapore (+24%). More than 20% of French products now go to Asia, representing more than 2.6 billion euros.<\/li>\n
  • North America posted a 6.8% increase in exports, with a 5.7% rise in exports to the United States. This country remains the second most important destination for our global exports. South and Central America remain stable.<\/li>\n
  • In the Near and Middle East region, exports fell slightly by 2.1% (with Saudi Arabia down 6.2%), closely linked to changes in oil prices.<\/li>\n
  • For the Africa zone, the situation is contrasted: West Africa is up with +16.8%, while Central and Southern Africa is down by 6.8%. North Africa was also down (-3.7%), mainly due to Algeria blocking imports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
