Thailand’s Cosmetics & Toiletries market is enjoying healthy growth fuelled by a strong economy and increasingly sophisticated consumers, including men who are proving to be a particularly lucrative market.
Major new opportunities are emerging for both international and domestic cosmetics brands in Thailand, due to strong economic growth, increasingly sophisticated consumers and a vibrant market in which new products and innovations are leading to growing competition.
