The annual Natural Cosmetics Conference took place on 7 and 8 October in Berlin’s Ellington Hotel. This year the conference focused on market trends in the organic retail sector.
The conference always begins with a review of the German organic C&T market. Germany is the biggest organic market in Europe and last year the sector did very well indeed, with certified organic C&T growing 7% to u920m in 2013. In the first half of 2014, the market has already put on a further 11% so it seems likely that certified organic beauty will indeed crack the u1bn mark in full year 2014.
