Arthur Edward has released the findings of its 2025 Beauty Industry Salary Survey & Industry Report, offering an in-depth look at salaries, career trends, and workforce dynamics across the beauty, cosmetics, and personal care sector.
The report covers 50+ key roles across five main sectors: Technical, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Top-Level Management. Highlights include:
-
Experience and career movement: 73% of respondents have worked in the industry for six years or more, while 39% have changed roles in the past two years, showing both stability and opportunities for career growth.
-
Flexible working impact: Flexible working remains a key factor in career decisions. Recruitment challenges have emerged as companies implement return-to-office policies, with many candidates indicating they would decline even their “dream job” if it required full-time office attendance.
-
AI adoption: AI usage at work has risen from 24% last year to 60% this year. Most professionals view AI as a productivity enabler, helping reduce workload and improve processes without threatening job security.
This report provides valuable insights for industry professionals, hiring managers, and those planning their next career move.
