Sun and skin care account for 3/7ths of the market's sales. Women, unsurprisingly, tend to dominate makeup and color cosmetics.

In 2014, men accounted for a 19% of the cosmetics market in the Asia Pacific, particularly in Japan, China and India, according to the research. What are they using? Shampoos, conditioners, hair styling creams and gel, hair color, moisturizing lotions, facial wipes, deodorants and fragrances.

Asia Pacific's key channels include supermarkets and department stores. However, online sales platforms are expected to register a CAGR of 10.3% through the report's 2020 forecast.
