Heaven-scent: Green and niche product innovation has made-up industry growth

Cosmetics, perfume and toiletries manufacturers produce cosmetics, perfumes, deodorants, lotions, creams and hair-care products. The industry is highly globalised, reflecting global beauty brands' dominance in the downstream retail sector. Many cosmetics and perfumes are imported as fully formulated and packaged products. Imports hold a strong position in the downstream market and are expected to satisfy three-quarters of domestic demand in the current year. Export success in international markets has driven revenue growth over the past decade. In particular, exports of natural and organic cosmetics and personal care products have increased strongly, as local manufacturers have successfully capitalised on Australia's reputation for manufacturing high-quality and environmentally friendly products.

Industry firms manufacture cosmetic and toiletry products. Key products include cosmetics, perfumes (natural and synthetic), deodorants, lotions, creams and hair care.
