The Peruvian cosmetics market moved US$1.5 billion (S/ 5,060 million) between January and June 2026, the Peruvian Beauty and Wellness Guild (Copecoh) reported.[^1]

Copecoh also reported that 70 new companies entered Peru's beauty and personal care market during the first half of the year.[^2] The read here is that the entry count is the livelier number: seventy new entrants against a $1.5 billion base is a lot of new supply to absorb in six months.

The market figure came from Gestión; the entry count came from RPP, each carrying Copecoh's reporting.

A year-earlier figure or a full-year 2026 number would show whether the market is growing fast enough to absorb those 70 entrants, or simply holding its size.
