Why Beauty Shopping Is Moving Online
Beauty is shifting to screens. Statista says most Philippine cosmetics retail is still offline, with online share growing and forecast to match offline sales by 2029, and names TikTok Shop and Instagram as major drivers of awareness and conversion. Allure PH quotes a brand owner whose brick-and-mortar brand now earns most of its sales online, up from under 5 percent before the pandemic. Beauty is also one of the in-demand categories in a Spiralytics look at Philippine e-commerce.
