| Black Americans are a major force in the beauty industry. They are responsible for over 11 percent of the total beauty market in the US and spent over $6 billion on beauty products last year. Despite this spending power, however, the industry is rife with inequity—there’s limited resources and funding available for Black beauty brands and entrepreneurs, and Black consumers struggle to find quality products or see themselves represented in ad campaigns. This is a missed opportunity worth $2.6 billion, according to McKinsey research. Take a deep dive into the findings and see how investing in the Black beauty industry could lead to greater equity across the board—for shoppers, entrepreneurs, large beauty houses, retailers, and investors. |
