According to a survey of the bfai (German National Association for Foreign Economics) the demand for cosmetic products in Poland is steadily increasing. Polish manufacturers such as the “Kolastina Gruppe” are active not only in their home market, but increasingly abroad as well. Dr. Irena Eris Cosmetic Laboratories, Dermika, Dax Cosmetics, Inglot, Bell and others are continually expanding their market positions. Again, other cosmetic manufacturers such as Avon, Nivea Polska (Beiersdorf), L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble and Albero Culver (Soraya) strongly invest in new production facilities in Poland. Similar developments can be observed in the cleaner and detergent market.
