Mary Kay Inc., a renowned global leader in skin care and cosmetics, is thrilled to announce its strategic expansion into Kyrgyzstan. This milestone represents a significant step in Mary Kay’s ongoing international growth strategy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to empowering women and providing innovative, high-quality beauty products worldwide.
Commitment to Women’s Empowerment
The expansion into Kyrgyzstan aligns seamlessly with Mary Kay’s mission to enhance women’s lives by offering premium beauty products alongside unparalleled business opportunities. The beauty and personal care market is experiencing remarkable growth, with sales volume in these categories nearly doubling in recent years. The global beauty market is projected to reach approximately $580 billion by 2027, growing by an estimated 6 percent annually. Concurrently, the direct selling market size is expected to hit $286.7 billion by 2028. This impressive growth is largely driven by a surge in individuals pursuing entrepreneurship and seeking flexible, rewarding business avenues. Recognising this upward trend, Mary Kay has strategically chosen Kyrgyzstan to cater to the increasing demand for premium beauty products and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Inspirational Leadership
“I firmly believe that our expansion into Kyrgyzstan will motivate numerous women to discover the transformative benefits of Mary Kay’s award-winning products,” said Tara Eustace, President of Mary Kay Europe Region. Mary Kay Ash famously noted that we’re doing much more than merely selling cosmetics, we’re changing lives. This philosophy is at the core of everything we do, and I am eager to witness the positive impact we will have on the women of Kyrgyzstan, equipping them with both products and entrepreneurial paths to success.”
