Key Highlights
The inclination for men to use cosmetics is markedly stronger in certain countries. Male consumers in India, China, and the United Arab Emirates are most likely to use make-up. This presents valuable opportunities for cosmetics manufacturers to develop products that specifically cater to certain skin types, complexions, and religions.
Women have emerged as an important segment for the sports nutrition category. They are, after all, just as likely as men to exercise on a regular basis. 60% of female consumers claim to perform exercise such as playing sports or going to the gym at least once a week, compared to 63% of men.
