Hey everyone! I have been doing a market research on cosmetics in Kenya and even imported cosmetics from UK. I have this passion about beauty so i just felt like this is the field i fit into. According to my research, i came across so many sentenced saying "Kenya has a growing demand in the cosmetic industry. I haven't seen many people on this website who might be dealing with cosmetics, but i'd be glad if any of you could tell me a little more on this. Is this statement true? And if so how long will it take for demand to reach the peak? There's been a muted response so far but what keeps me motivated is the fact that in case the title statement is true, then in the next few years the cosmetic agents who've started by now, shall be very respected. Please do leave your comments on this and for further information on how i operate etc, feel free to approach me

Does kenya have a growing demand in cosmetic industry?
to be frank, the climate of kenya is awesome, but you know, everyone cannot afford to go for expensive cosmetics here. It depends on your charging, if your rates are high then you could only get some few customers every month. If your rates are reasonable, you could get lot more than you expect. This could be a good start for you now. So try to promote your talent and get some good name in beauty industry. Then you can rock in market. All the best.
Hi,
i am in the beauty industry en its true cosmetics in kenya are at a high demand clients are willing to pay any amount if you have gd quality products.wat products do u have?
Thanks suribhai for your response
Commilka i agree with you. Good quality means high price, so far i ave sold out alot and i think women in kenya do have the "cosmetic sense".
I get all my cosmetics from UK which include make up and skin care products. At the moment i have L'Oreal, Saffron, Wet n Wild, Constance caroll, La femme, Laval, Technic, Gallery, Bodygrapy (oxyplex), sally hensen, pink, and the list goes on lol!
