Cosmetics & Beauty

In the beauty and cosmetics industry, pricing is a complex challenge. Companies must take into account several factors, such as market demand, consumer perception of value, production costs, and profit margins. Finding the right balance between profitability and price competitiveness is essential for success in this sector.

The beauty and cosmetics sector is characterized by products that often have a short lifecycle. Effective management of the product portfolio becomes imperative as companies must anticipate demand, introduce new offerings, and phase out those nearing the end of their lifecycle. Poor product lifecycle management can lead to overstocking, financial losses, and product obsolescence.
