Beauty dealmaking in 2025 didn’t move in a straight line—but it did end the year on a steady footing. The BeautyMatter Deal Index tracked 263 transactions, down 11.5% from 2024, yet broadly consistent with 2023 levels. The decline in volume, however, tells only part of the story. This was a year defined less by frenetic activity and more by precision: fewer deals, but more intentional ones.
