Summary

Episode 98 of The Demographics Podcast examines how declining birth rates are reshaping the cosmetics industry. Lucas and Luna explore the shift from skincare marketed as 'anti-aging' to products targeting older demographics, with a focus on Japan's aging population and companies like Shiseido. They discuss the rise of 'silver cosmetics' and how brands are reformulating for mature skin. The hosts also touch on the broader economic implications: fewer women in their 20s and 30s means shrinking demand for traditional makeup, while demand for functional cosmetics that address age-specific concerns is growing. Specific data on Japan's cosmetics market and the global trend toward 'age-positive' marketing are highlighted. The episode concludes with a look at how this demographic shift might affect innovation and advertising spend in the beauty sector over the next decade. #Demographics #FallingBirthRates #CosmeticsIndustry #Skincare #AntiAging #SilverEconomy #Shiseido #Japan #AgePositive #BeautyIndustry #EconomicImpact #ConsumerBehavior #Marketing #Retail #GlobalTrends #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
