An article in WWD highlighted a 2023 PwC report from earlier this year, which revealed that 43% of shoppers favor in-store purchases, with 11% of online customers considering a switch to physical buying. The beauty segment remains resilient despite retail challenges, with 70% of consumers undeterred from spending on beauty products, as per Circana data.
