And the fact of putting the \"France\" brand on a cosmetic product increases its value by an average of 30%, compared to an equivalent product from another country! \"Cosmetics, whose exports grow by 5% each year, is one of the emblems of the \"French brand\", says Patrick O'Quin, President of the FEBEA (Federation of Beauty Companies). Our sector is also a major factor of tourist attraction: tourists consume, in France, 3 billion euros per year of cosmetic products! We are proud and happy to support this sector, which is essential both on a territorial and international level. This international influence is explained by the excellence of the French sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solid companies, creating jobs throughout France<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The cosmetics sector is made up of a network of historical companies, anchored in their territory, sometimes since the 16th century. Today, the Grasse, Occitanie and Ile-de-France clusters group together the majority of companies. Other territories such as the French Overseas Territories have specialized in raw materials, while the lung of innovation in the sector is in the \"Cosmetic Valley\", the competitiveness cluster located between Chartres, Orleans and Tours. In total, cosmetics (raw materials, manufacturing, distribution) includes 3,200 companies, including 67% in the region and 33% in Ile-de-France.<br \/>\nThese companies are solid, with 82% being single family-owned. This explains why they most often pursue long-term strategies combined with a desire to pass on know-how and economic assets. As a result, they have a long lifespan: their average age is 16 years, compared with 12 years for the average French company.<\/p>\n<p>These companies also create skilled jobs, well distributed throughout the country. The 164,000 direct jobs in the sector are concentrated, at 80%, in the region. The cosmetics industry employs 33% of engineers and managers and 39% of supervisors and technicians, compared to 17% and 26% respectively for the national average. This ecosystem of excellence, unique in the world, is supported by companies, large groups, VSEs and SMEs, suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers, as well as by specialized educational institutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovative companies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every year, 170 new cosmetics companies are created, fueled by the sector's abundant innovation: its R&amp;D is the most efficient in France with 3.6 patents filed per million euros spent. This creativity is increasingly oriented towards finding better solutions for the environment, thanks to more natural formulas, less polluting ingredients, and eco-designed waste.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Ast\u00e9r\u00e8s study for the FEBEA - The cosmetics economy: innovation, territorial dynamism and global influence - May 2019<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En amont du salon du \u00ab Made in France \u00bb (8 au 11 novembre), la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Entreprises\u00a0de la Beaut\u00e9 (FEBEA) dresse, avec le cabinet d\u2019\u00e9tude Ast\u00e9r\u00e8s, l\u2019\u00e9tat des lieux d\u2019un secteur\u00a0majeur du \u00ab Made in France \u00bb, celui de la cosm\u00e9tique.
