Italy’s cosmetics industry is increasingly establishing itself as one of the country’s most dynamic manufacturing sectors, combining international growth, specialized production, research and a supply chain that extends far beyond beauty products themselves.
In 2025, Italian cosmetics manufacturers generated a record €18 billion in revenue, up 2.9% from the previous year. Over the past decade, the industry has expanded at an average annual rate of 6.1% – more than 6 times the pace of Italy’s GDP growth.
