TikTok Impact on Beauty Industry Driver
COVID-19 led to an increase in working from home. This led to an increase in time spent on TikTok by many consumers. Consumers turned to the app for product reviews, trends, and recommendations while they were unable to sample items in physical non-essential retail channels when they closed during lockdown periods. All this propelled online shopping and expenditure on beauty products by consumers.

Store closures throughout periods of COVID-19 restrictions meant consumers changed their shopping habits, shifting more of their spending online. Beauty brands must ensure they are active on TikTok and share links to brand stores as consumers have become accustomed to purchasing this way. A majority of consumers have agreed that they will continue this trend over the coming few months.
The usage of social media including TikTok will also drive online sales, with Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok making purchasing more accessible to users, and trialling dedicated areas on the apps that link to retailer websites to encourage purchases.
