In an era when people are increasingly concerned about their skin and judged by their looks, not on the negative side of it, skincare companies are taking over their interests to build business empires. The number of skincare and cosmetic products in the market has more than doubled when compared to the last decade.

Skincare and beauty products being the most popular sector in the direct selling industry have seen drastic shifts in recent years fueled by competition, innovation and technology. According to the WFDSA global sales report 2023, the cosmetics and personal care industry alone contributed $40.5 billion to the global retail sales. The MLM skincare sector, rightly backed by advanced beauty and cosmetics platform, has been a major contributor to the growth of the direct selling industry.

The industry closed 2024 with global retail sales holding steady at $163.9 billion. This pause hints that the post-pandemic slowdown may finally be easing and that 2025 could bring better growth. A total of 104.3 million independent sales representatives were active globally in 2024, up slightly by 0.1%. Still, the workforce remains 4.2% smaller than its pre-pandemic size of 109.0 million in 2019.
