L'Oréal third quarter 2025 results: stability and moderate growth in a challenging market
L'Oréal's third-quarter 2025 results show stable performance and a slight improvement in a global economic context marked by slowing consumption and currency fluctuations. The French beauty and cosmetics group announced revenue of €10.334 billion , an increase of 0.5% compared to the same period last year. However, when adjusted for currency effects, revenues reflect a 4.2% , confirming the brand's strength in key international markets.
Sustained growth despite the economic environment
The third quarter 2025 report reveals that L'Oréal has managed to maintain sustained growth across its core divisions, driven by product innovation and expansion into emerging markets. The company emphasized that this revenue stability is due to a diversification strategy that combines luxury brands , professional cosmetics , consumer products , and dermocosmetics .
professional products division , which supplies salons and beauty specialists, recorded significant growth thanks to the sector's recovery and the incorporation of new technologies in hair treatments. Meanwhile, the luxury division , which includes brands such as Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, and Giorgio Armani Beauty, maintained solid results, especially in Asia and North America , despite inflationary pressures.
Innovation and digitalization as drivers of growth
One of the key factors behind L'Oréal 's strong results in the third quarter of 2025 is its continued commitment to innovation. The company has invested significantly in research and development, focusing on sustainable products and the use of artificial intelligence to personalize the consumer experience.
The group has also strengthened its digital strategy, with an increase in sales through e-commerce and social media. In markets such as Europe and Latin America, the online channel now represents more than 30% of total sales. According to the official statement, this digital transformation has been essential to maintaining closeness with consumers, even in times of economic uncertainty.
Results by region
Growth was particularly notable in Asia-Pacific, where beauty product consumption has rebounded strongly after a period of slowdown. In Western Europe, L'Oréal reported stable performance, with solid demand in France, Spain, and Germany. North America also showed positive signs, driven by sales of premium products and skincare treatments.
However, the company acknowledged that some emerging markets still face challenges related to inflation, exchange rates, and logistical restrictions, which have moderated the pace of global growth.
Commitment to sustainability
Beyond its financial results, L'Oréal reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Through its "L'Oréal for the Future" , the company continues to promote initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, encourage the use of recyclable packaging, and support women's empowerment projects in vulnerable communities. These actions reinforce the company's image as a leader not only in beauty but also in corporate sustainability.
Outlook for the end of 2025
Looking ahead to the end of the year, L'Oréal maintains a cautious but optimistic outlook. The company expects global demand for beauty products to remain stable, although it warns of the potential influence of external factors such as inflation and geopolitical tensions. Analysts expect the group to close the year with a total increase of between 4% and 5% in adjusted revenue, driven by growth in the luxury segment and e-commerce.
L' Oréal's third-quarter 2025 results confirm the strength of a company that, even in an uncertain economic environment, manages to maintain its position as a global leader in the beauty sector. Its combination of innovation, sustainability, and digitalization has allowed the company to successfully adapt to changing consumer habits and global market dynamics.
With a clear strategy and a future-oriented vision, L'Oréal continues to be a benchmark of resilience and leadership in the international cosmetics industry.
