Beauty & Personal Care
Beauty trends are constantly evolving. Yet one constant is the resiliency of the sector during previous economic downturns. The “lipstick effect,” or notion that consumers will spend on small indulgences during financially challenging times, is a leading factor in this phenomenon. With concerns about a potential economic downturn on the minds of dealmakers, investors and company leaders in these sectors remain bullish, confident that their products will prevail through economic cycles.
