U.S. household expenditure on hair care products 2010-2021

The amount spent on hair care products annually varies over the years in the United States. In 2021, American consumers spent around 77.17 U.S. dollars in a year on hair care products.

Where Americans buy cosmetics

According to a 2017 survey, over half of Americans have bought cosmetics from a Walmart or Walmart Supercenter, a higher share than any other retailer in the United States. Target, Walgreens, and Ulta were also popular places to buy cosmetics. There is also a thriving online marketplace for personal care and beauty products in the United States, though most U.S. consumers prefer to buy beauty products in a physical store.

Makeup brand preferences

The cosmetics market is more active and rapidly evolving than ever before, brands seem to be releasing new products with increasing frequency and new trends are sweeping the market on a regular basis. That being stated, many consumers are loyal to their brands and have clear preferences when it comes to which brands they will purchase and use. Foundation brand preferences vary considerably between different age groups. American women between the ages of 18 and 34 years tend to prefer MAC, Bare Minerals, and Neutrogena foundations, while women aged 50 years and older have a strong preference for Clinique and Covergirl Clean foundations.
