3. Cosmetics Sales of Department Stores

According to the department sales survey by the Japan Department Stores Association, cosmetics sales have been consistently increasing since 2012, especially driven by the influx of inbound tourists, mainly from Asian countries. However, cosmetics sales rapidly decreased in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 but are on the rise again. (Fig.6)
