Austrian consumers spend less on skin and body care. According to the Austrian platform cosmetics transparent, this is a result that the market research institute GfK determined in its annual study on the shopping behaviour of Austrian households. Accordingly, in 2022 the average expenditure for hair care (43.70 euros vs. 44.60 euros in 2021) and skin care (74.70 euros vs. 76.20 euros) fell slightly.
